Madison dealer of synthetic LSD gets 15 years

20 year-old Madison County resident Kaleb Chhabra pleaded guilty to possession with intent to sell a Schedule I controlled substance on June 26 in Madison County Circuit Court. Circuit Judge John Emfinger approved the plea bargain. Chhabra received a prison sentence of 20 years but five years was suspended. He will also serve five years of supervised release once he completes his prison sentence. A second count was dropped by the District Attorney.



 
Chhabra was arrested a year ago in possession of approximately 700 hits of synthetic LSD.  He pleaded guilty to possession between 20 and 40 DU's (dosage units) of the drug.  His co-defendant, Magrish Balasubramaniam, also entered a guilty plea.  Mr. Balasubramaniam was recently the subject of a feature article in the Starkville Free Press. Chhabra is in custody at the Madison County Detention Center while his partner in crime remains free on bail.

Certainly don't envy that life has in store for him. You got a purty mouth. Squeal like a pig.

If his daddy had been a high school football coach that had consistently beaten the old high school of the DA, he would have gotten over 50 years!

Considering the fact that under HB585 he will only have to serve 25% of this sentence, he got off easy. The poison that he is selling kills kids everyday.

Wow -- I'd be concerned if I was him. 130 pounds, pretty long black hair, perky little smile on his face, well sculpted eyebrows……..hmmmmm……..what's the feminine version of "Kaleb"????

He is the son of a local attorney, Rogen Chhabra. His father also has served as a Municipal Judge. If not for that help, I bet his plea would have been a little different. Also, I bet he is never housed anywhere else but Madison County.

Too bad his entrepreneurial spirit couldn't have focused on legal products. I know his parents must be beside themselves.

I know the father and son. He made a terrible mistake and should be punished, but 15 years for someone with zero record seems excessive.

He deserves to be punished - no question.

I certainly will say a prayer for them as i know this is extremely hard.

Is this his first offense? if so that seems harsh.

Kingfish said...

He was caught with 700 units. This was a plea bargain.

Seems excessive for a lil bit of chemical enlightenment.

"You got a purty mouth. Squeal like a pig. "

The classics never get old :-)

BTW - what is "synthetic" LSD? Is there some organic form growing on trees somewhere that I don't know about?

Also, I note the mention of Starkville. Is this somehow related to those two kids from Madison at MSU who flipped out on something a year or two ago (one may have died, IIRC)?

Yes first offense.

So somebody drops some of this synth, goes driving and kills some unsuspecting person or persons. Nope, not an excessive penalty at all.

Balasubramaniam and Chhabra look SO COOL! They REALLY HAVE IT GOING ON! Cool dues do GREAT in prison! I'm sure they will get along great with the other scum.

Where were the parents?

Incarcerate these guys for a LONG time.

LSD is, by definition, a synthetic drug. It's a synthesized version of natural hallucinogens (mescaline, psilocybin, etc...). I guess it's just a little redundant to say "Synthetic LSD".

9:56 see my post at 10:02 pm. It's called "sarcasm".

Kingfish said...

This guy wasn't selling drugs, he was selling poison. Look up synthetic LSD.

The parents must have curried favor with the legal system.

'Where were the parents'? Hell, this is not a nine year old kid. Parents do the best job they can to raise children. Surely you know that if you have any of your own, 9:34.

If he had lived in Jackson and had been black, he's be on the streets with six months time served and probation, if that.

generally people use the term synthetic to mean "not really" E.G. "synthetic marijuana" which is a generic term for whatever chemicals they throw together that will get you intoxicated if you smoke it. It doesn't really have anything to do with marijuana. Communication of the facts is sort of archaic these days, people just make up words and phrases and if enough people use it for a few months it's added to the dictionary.

noel speaks to himself again said...

Sorry, Noel; Try again. Synthetic marijuana is a knockoff of real THC. There's no such thing as synthetic acid since all LSD is synthetic. Nice try though.

So, was it 'Synthetic', or was it 'Simulated'?

In any event, we should be grateful to heroic immigrant families, for coming to America, to do the Jobs Americans won't do. They have enriched us so much.

The parents in this case are definately NOT DOING THE BEST JOB THEY CAN TO RAISE THEIR KID. I guarantee that.

Yes, I have kids and they are not selling drugs or committing crimes. Nice try.

It does not take a village to raise good kids. It takes TWO dedicated parents.

DonnerKay must really be pissed at her Starkville interns for chasing the wrong story about Balasubramaniam.

3:43 -- Well played, sir.

I knew Kaleb.

I didn't really like the guy because he came off as a pompous immature punk. However, he was smart as a whip and none could dispute that.

This is a perfect example of a person that's smart, but not wise.

Parents, please spend more time with your kids....

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
