Angola Inmate Convicted of Trying to Smuggle Meth into Prison

Angola Inmate Convicted of Trying to Smuggle Meth into Prison An Angola inmate is facing 10 years to life in prison after being convicted on federal drug charges. According to the United States Attorney s Office, a jury convicted Damione Brock of conspiracy to possess meth with intent to distribute after a two-day trial. He is already serving a prison sentence on state cocaine possession charges. Prosecutors told jurors that Brock used a cell phone smuggled into Angola in an attempt to run his drug operation. DEA agents wiretapped phone lines to intercept calls between Brock and a co-defendant. During one of those calls, Brock arranged to have meth delivered to him inside the state penitentiary. According to DEA agents, two couriers, including a corrections officer at Angola, would make the delivery. DEA tipped off state corrections officials, who arrested the officer and seized the drugs at the prison s gate.

Bills Legalizing, Taxing Marijuana Filed

Bills Legalizing, Taxing Marijuana Filed Rep. Richard Nelson (R-Mandeville) has a series of such bills pre-filed for the upcoming legislative session. The first is the legalization bill itself. If the legislature approves the measure, voters would decide if recreational marijuana will be legal for people 21 years or older. That statewide referendum would be held in November 2022. The other bills set up a taxing and fee structure for legalized weed sales. Under those proposals, weed retailers would pay a $2,500 annual license fee to sell cannabis. Anyone who wants to grow their own cannabis would pay the state an annual $100 fee. Under the proposed tax structure, 20 percent of the sales taxes collected would go to law enforcement in the municipality or parish where the sale happened. Thirty percent would go back to the local government. The remaining half would go into the state treasury.
