What goes around...

An upstate Assemblyman from Putnam County, Steve Katz, was stopped for speeding (80mph in a 65mph zone...not bad) when the officer smelled that smell. He found a bag of marijuana and Mr. Katz was ticketed for possesion.

 

The funny part is that he was one of 50 Assembly members who voted against legalizing medical marijuana last June. That bill did not pass the Senate but it does make an interesting point. What goes around certainly does come around :)

 

Maybe he should join Gotham?

Interesting. I just saw the news and a Hofstra basketball player was pulled over in Brooklyn yesterday, for no seat belt...cops found 5 marijuana cigarettes (their words) in his cup holder....and he was promptly arrested.

When he gets glaucoma and needs some medicinal marijuana hang it in front of him but don't give him any.

What you did not mention and was prominent in the news stories I read:
1) He is a GOPer
2) He was elected with Tea Party support in 2010
3) The leader of the Assembly GOP aka the minority leader, learned about the arrest from the media and not from the member.
What will be of great interest, does he get expelled before or after a disposition, and does he plea or go to trial.
