Standing outside the federal courtroom with his hands behind his back, edited looked somberly over his shoulder and blew a kiss to his wife.
U.S. District Judge Filemon B. Vela sentencedcto five years and three months in prison Friday, with an additional four years supervised release.
Behind bars since February, edited , described by federal authorities as along-time Minneapolis-based drug dealer, was the last to be sentenced among eight defendants linked to a marijuana smuggling operation that stretched
across the country, from Mexico to Seattle, Las Vegas and Leavenworth, Kan.
"It's a substantial smuggling ring," said Assistant U.S. District Attorney Mervyn Mosbacker. "They weren't transporting real large amounts at any one
time, but it added up to quite a bit."
edited faced six counts of marijuana possession with intent to distribute and one additional count of money laundering. Like each of the other seven co-defendants, edited pleaded guilty to one of the charges and the state dismissed the rest.
"It's a case Customs and the IRS worked on extensively," Mosbacker said. "They did a good job putting evidence together and getting everybody to plead guilty. It was a good, quality case."
According to Alonzo Pe a, resident agent in charge of the U.S. Customs Service in Brownsville, federal officials began to investigate the multi-state operation in April 1993. Court documents show that Customs meticulously
gathered evidence against the group using phone records, bank files and an undercover investigation.
Between 1991 and 1995, officials believe the ring, headed by Laguna Vista resident and South Padre Island businessman Jack Collins, routed 2,500 pounds of marijuana from the border across the country -- sometimes in bundles as large as 560 pounds. Pe a added that the investigation is still ongoing.
According to the court file, edited , a member of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) and a former political candidate with the Grass Roots party, regularly picked up marijuana from Texas, moved it back to the Midwest and sold it.
Much of his profit went into the coffers of NORML, prosecutors claimed in court documents. Prosecutors also alleged that at the time of his arrest in Minneapolis, edited was in the process of booby-trapping his house with home-made bombs and was even in possession of a cannon.
When asked by Vela if he planned to continue smoking marijuana, edited replied, "When I started getting involved I had good intentions, but things got seriously out of hand." But he was quick to add, "I may continue to advocate the change of marijuana laws."
that's pretty Cool Max....
