Don’t want a hassle? Don’t have drugs
I’m writing in reference to Judge Ross telling them boys that it’s OK to use drugs in his county as long as they are from out of town. He claims they were targeted because they were headed to Bonnaroo and I’m sure it’s true that additional speed traps were in place for the increase in traffic.
I also don’t believe it’s unusual for an officer to ask someone were he is headed when he is pulled over. If they had possessed illegal guns or bombs in their vehicles would the cases have been dismissed as quickly? I think not.
I don’t feel sorry for Mr. Wielgos. If he hadn’t been speeding, he wouldn’t have been pulled over. If he didn’t have drugs in his vehicle, he wouldn’t have been charged. Cause and effect as a result of his personal choices.
I’m in the process of relocating to Middle Tennessee from out of state and Warren County was just removed from my list of potential locations. I have three young children, two of whom have graduated from the DARE program, and a county that has a judge that is that lenient on the use of drugs tells me that the county is a haven for drug use.?I don’t think Judge Ross has to worry about the sheriff’s department or the local police giving Warren County a bad name. He has done a fine job of that himself in my estimation.
