wow ONLY probation. Id take a chance on making a few thousand or hundred thousand just to get probation. Thats one heck of a trade off there.

I wonder why the crime rate and drug problems are so bad in Lamar County and Barnesville???

Duhhhhh

I’m sure this guy paid a heavy price for his crime and will continue to pay for the rest of his life. Without a doubt he lost his job because of his arrest and now we will see if he can find a quality job in the future. Yea right! Drugs ruin many lives but not nearly as many as the war on drugs. I don’t do them myself because life is already entertaining enough without having to indulge. I do recognize we live in a drug society and have been for thousands of years. If we were to legalize drugs most sheriffs’ departments would go bust. The war on drugs is a revenue generator that destroys lives. We could generate far more monies by making it legal and heavily tax it. Some of this money can be used to campaign against drug use and help to repair the lives who can’t handle the responsibility for having the personal freedom to use.

They aren't bad in Lamar County. Look around at other places too. It is bad everywhere.

Not to mention that it is (and should be) an inalienable right to control ones own body and if they choose how they become inebriated.

So not only is the War on "Some" Drug a failure (except for the profit takers building and filling prisons with non-violent offenders) it is ethically and morally wrong.

What gives society or people the right to decide for another person if or how they become inebriated if there is no DIRECT harm to society.

Cocaine was legal in the past and society paid a terrible price.

Care to elaborate on that? Maybe you have some facts to back up the claims?

He's still doing the same thing and going with his friend whom is serving time for drugs ex girlfriend. He has never stopped, and all he gets is a slap on the risk. His girlfriend Sheba should have been tied in to this also because she was in with the Tamplin case too, just happened to pass through the system this time.

Man, Tamp has been dealing since high school. It's a pity it took this long to get the man and he worked in public service to boot. How do you think he had those nice things in school? Add it up......he's still gettin paid behind bars too.

I have NO idea what your post even says. I love uneducated people that open their mouths.... TERRIBLE! A "slap on the risk". REALLY??????

#12 ss on 07/12/10 at 09:47 AM

I agree I love uneducated people too, next time you wanna open your mouth and say something Amy make sure you get the story first. Sheba is his cousin ex-girlfriend, and whos to say they aren't in love you can't help who you fall in love wit. You sound like the feds how you know what he's still doing, and how do you know she is tied in did you see her sale or traffic any dope. Just cause she is cool with tamp and Shemika don't mean she had anything to do with it

WE ALL REAP WHAT WE SOW. YOU DO WRONG THEN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER YOU HAVE TO GIVE IN ACCOUNT FOR THE EVIL DEED. ITS HARVEST TIME FOR "BUNS-BILL"

Not sure about the terrible price part of this, but I can tell you that Cocaine was for tooth aches very similar to how we use asprin and tylenol today. It was in many elixers(liquid meds) as well. It is a schedule II drug which generally means it has been known to cause dependency and abuse. It can still legally be used for certain surgeries as a local anesthetic.

We should legalize drugs, drugs ruin many lives but not nearly as many as the war on drugs.

#20 Amy Johnson on 07/28/10 at 03:59 PM

You are like so dumb. Everyone knows that Sheba is talkin to this guy when he wants to. Of course she's number two as usual. She really should have went down with the Tamp case, because of what she was doing. You know what she was doing, and probaly still is. She stay high off her man on supply. Shame shame shame, and this probaly is Sheba responding. How could you go with Drell's homie? Wow!
