Justin Goodloe (right), 20, and Allen Thomas Barnes (left), 19, are probably not going to be top candidates for the next year’s draft picks for the Sinaloa Cartel. Barnes was driving a car in the early morning of July 24th when it was pulled over the police near a burglary scene — purportedly because of the lack of headlights. As police approached the vehicle, they saw a rather curious sight: a marijuana plant sticking out of the window of the vehicle.
According to police, Goodloe insisted that they had stolen the potted pot from a friend who owed him a $100 drug debt. That is a curious defense where you add theft to a possession charge.
The police appear not to buy the defense anyway. Both of the men were charged with manufacturing of marijuana.
