That’s like bragging about busting moonshiners.

Are you they reported recovery of $75,000.00 in cash. Bull Shit.
Tyree Jones is doing a great job in my opinion.
I thought weed was legal in Mississippi?
What were those people doing with all of that medicine?
But it's legal..... so stupid
I'm glad they got the drugs and thugs off the streets, but, in a way, feel sorry for the younger white guy. I guess his daddy totally failed him.
Never display the cash, Tyree.
for medicinal purposes only-
How do you figure that, 10:01? Regardless of your or my thoughts about the law, are you suggesting it should not be followed or that it makes no difference when it IS followed?
As, man. It’s jus’ a lil weed, man. It’s less dangerous than alcohol. Why ain’t y’all jus’ chill?
That $79,000+ has the county supervisors drooling (2 SUVs? Trip to Paris?).
Cute comment 9:03. But the law says it can only be spent by the sheriff.
Hinds Co must get to make up that street value number. According to their figures this would make a pound of that regular weed in those pics over $4000 per pound!!! lol Total value there might be $150,000. As a former Leo,sounds like the father son duo got busted first and ratted on the big players for lessor charges of possession.

You thought! Sounds like you bump your head when you think.
@9:24, Is that what the law says? We don’t need no stinkin’ law. There’s always a workaround for government-types.
The first thing that will happen is a fine for$79,743.00 coincidently.
@9:24 AM Yes, and the sheriff can loan them some SUVs, or pay for their fact finding trip to Paris.
Maybe the SO can spend the money on driving lessons for the deputies.

Should've read the law about packaging first.
I’m sure this boosted his self-inflated ego. Give me a break….
The family that deals together stays together
So the Capitol Police are fighting real crime and the Sheriff is arresting dealers of harmless plants. My tax dollars at work.
Great job, Sheriff.
KF, who are these trolls touting marijuana recreational (drug) use? Not your usual crowd.
Don't worry you all! That money will go to some more motorcycles for the Sheriff to let his JPD buddies that are "reserve deputies" have and ride around or he could buy another $75,000 F250 and $25,000 horse trailer to transport horses that the Sheriff's Office doesn't even own.
