Nodine passes drug test, polygraph in marijuana investigation

Lagniappe

According to The Lagniappe in Mobile, County Commissioner Stephen Nodine has passed both a drug test and a polygraph during an investigation into marijuana that was supposedly found in his vehicle by a mechanic at the county garage.

I've said all along that the whole episode reeks of a set up. A county Commissioner would not be very likely to ride around with marijuana stuffed inside a pill bottle in a county issued vehicle. They would also be unlikely to roll joints inside said vehicle and spill enough marijuana on the floor board that anyone would notice it. I also find it most strange that there was already a cop at the county garage when this marijuana was supposedly found. How fucking convenient! Now, who has the most unrestricted access to marijuana and all other illicit substances in the entire universe? Why, police officers and sheriff's deputies, of course.

If I remember correctly Mr. Nodine had some harsh words for the police department in Mobile not too long ago. Coincidence that the cop just happened to be at the garage when this happened? I think not.

That being said...if marijuana were legal then people like Mr. Nodine would no longer have to fear being set up by vindictive assholes out for revenge and would not have to fear their lives and careers being over because someone planted a small amount of green leafy plant material on them.

Isn't it just hard to fathom that ones whole life can be wiped out in an instant over a plant that grows naturally on this earth and has never killed anyone?

NO MORE DRUG WAR!!!

Well, he's not out of the woods yet. The Baldwin D.A. is still considering the matter as I understnd it. Polygraph is not admissible and he could have passed the drug test. He's getting this out to the potential jury pool. I don't see him being charged. If it was an ordinary person....

Sure an ordinary person would be charged....but I still smell a rat with this whole case. It just doesn't fit.

Mr. Nodine is a very vivacious fun loving individual. Here is video of Nodine. It shows a man who is a nice guy who would very much support legal marihuana.

Marijuana is not destroying this country.

Yeah, something is funny. Hard to tell if the cops planted it or maybe Nodine has a kid that may have left it in the truck. The cops saying they smelled burnt mj and a "masking agent" is suspicious. I'm pretty sure Nodine is not stupid enough to smoke pot in his truck right before he takes it in to county maintenance.

sixstring wasn't there some hubbub with the police and Nodine a few months back. I know I read it but can't find it now on the Press Register site. Do you recall what I am referring to?

I didn't see that.

Maybe this is what you were thinkin about where Nodine refutes the polics claim of reduced crime?
