Thirty-six were booked into the Tom Green County Jail on Monday and a great many of those were commitments for marijuana possession. The inmate bookings report lists some 13 inmates in the jail Monday for pot, and an additional three for possession of other drugs. 

Public intoxication was also relatively high, accounting for five inmates total, while DWI accounted for two. There were four thefts Monday, one evading arrest and one aggravated kidnapping. 

Thirty-five inmates were released.

Should you guys be arresting some dope heads? They seem to be the ones causing problems. Not traffic violation stops where you happen to smell marijuana. Arrest the dope head that is about to rob someoneat knife point for their next hit.

...to see pot decriminalized in Texas. Caging people for possession of a native plant is not only wrong, it's downright immoral. History will not look kindly at the supposed War On Drugs.

seems we are spending a high percentage of our law enforcement and jail funds on those who smoke pot. why not spend this money on something useful or beneficial.
