A Little Pot May Be Just The Ticket

Written by on Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 in Latest News.

If you’re busted carrying a small amount of marijuana in parts of Cook County patrolled by the sheriff’s police, you may get off with a ticket.

The county board on Tuesday passed an ordinance giving sheriff’s police and deputies patrolling unincorporated parts of the county the latitude to arrest a suspect on a misdemeanor charge or, under the new ordinance, hit them with a $200 ticket if they’re carrying 10 grams or less of marijuana.

Cook County President Todd Stroger said he didn’t know if he would sign the measure. If he does, it would take effect within 60 days.
