FULL TEXT BELOW:
A former Edinboro police officer charged with growing marijuana received is going to jail.
Robert Hitchcock will spend eight to 23 months behind bars.
Last October members of the attorney general's office and the drug task force arrested the Leboeuf Township man, after discovering large amounts of pot inside his home...
Police found 41 plants, a three and a half gallon bucket and metal tin full of the drug, 9 rifles and shotguns, a pistol and a 357 magnum.
Edinboro police never estimated the street value- but believe the pot was grown to be sold.
Hitchcock’s lawyer Phil Friedman says his client's jail time will be followed by 13 months probation. -------
I guess sentence enhancements for "gun use" in drug crimes don't apply to cops . . . |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
