TWO men were arrested after police conducted a search and found them with more than $100,000 during a joint operation at western New Providence.
According to reports, shortly after 1pm Drug Enforcement Unit officers along with United States law enforcement officials searched the men who were in a vehicle at a parking lot.
The search yielded $109,650 in US currency.

Police also arrested two other men in four separate incidents involving dangerous drugs Thursday.
In the first incident, shortly after 9am, Mobile Division Officers assisted by K-9 Officers, conducted a search of a home and property at John Road and recovered a quantity of suspected marijuana.
A man who was present at the home at the time of the search was taken into custody and is expected to be formally charged.

I must apologize for laughing at this article. Here we are 2018 and we are still locking people up for a weed. I mean honestly. But, I do see some green shoots in the thinking here. I feel a groundswell of people feeling, why are we being left behind, again. Plus, they have seen a generation now of those who drank, those that snorted coke, and those who smoked weed. Need I say more. So, I think people are finally saying enough is enough of our kids having a police record because they were caught with a few joints, or god forbid, a few pounds of grass. Let's grow up. We need the money. Maybe then we won't have to stoop so low as to allow an oil refinery on Grand Bahama or drilling for oil in our pristine waters off Andros. And just maybe, more than the usual few will profit.

Did you read the same article I read above? No where did the article say that anyone was arrested for weed. I guess you simply imagine your facts to fit your commentary. SMH!
