A 72-year-old woman is one of three members of a Green Cove Springs family now in jail, accused of selling marijuana.

Police said that undercover officers bought marijuana at the home on four separate occasions prior to issuing a search warrant. When officers entered the home, the elder Layfield was found sitting in a living room with several bags of marijuana.
"It's unusual to find someone her age selling pot, but she's not the first and probably won't be the last," said Lt. Larry Thompson, who heads up the Clay County Drug Task Force, which co-ordinates the efforts of the sheriff's office, the Green Cove Springs and Orange Park police departments.
All three suspects were charged with possession, sale and delivery of marijuana over 20 grams, a felony with penalties of up to five years in jail upon conviction.
Elnora Layfield has two prior drug-related charges.
"Maybe a little jail time will send a stronger message to her -- because probation isn't working," Thompson said.
Since, by your statement, you apparently don't support a marked decrease in violent crimes, care to elaborate why?
Maybe he wants the G-men to toss all the bums and their molls into the big house. You know - the hoosegow. The pokey.
Or maybe he’d like to punch their ticket to palookaville. Let ‘em push up daises. You know, introduce them to Saint Peter.
Actually, I have less sympathy for people who sell weed for profit, as it is the threat of jail which allows them to profit. Then again, I'd rather see legal companies selling it and reserving the jail space for the out of work dealers for real criminals...
No, we've been there before.
He likes to boil an old rooster in wine and eat it.
I must admit I am enjoying the mix. Rather amusing.
They're soulmates. Looking for big mommy government to protect them from the dangerous thingies.
Why does 'split personality' keep coming to mind?
Statistically speaking, 49% of us are already walking around packing a "rod", although I will admit that at 58 Ol' Killer ain't what he used to be.

Stop! You’re scaring the boy!
I really could care less, just informing lurkers at losers tactics.
You are going to say you won this argument, which is fine, if that gives you a woody. I would rather have you sitting in front of a computer than running around loose.I'm surprised it took so long.
Geez, if he's skeered of Ol' Killer I imagine he'd just about sh!t if I had a gun.
;O)
And, if I read an article about them hauling you off to jail with your pants around your knees, we'll say "Oh well, he gambled and lost".
If I saw a bum on the street in front of my house shooting up I would call the cops.
But what is the point here ?
