yeah you didn't do away with it you know what I mean um right right Code 4 Regional I'm Code 4 I did locate a large amount of marijuana in this vehicle several large dos just like the deputy said the federal threshold for prosecuting marijuana crimes goes by weight and there must be 1,000 lb or more of the drug to be prosecuted a trunk full of marijuana didn't quite reach the weight requirement so despite the dire circumstances Amos was free to go all right man well good luck with your boss the agents will be in contact with you you might be having the marshals kicking on your door to take you
