Man caught with 19 bags of marijuana at Fulton courthouse

A man remains in the Fulton County jail after being arrested Wednesday for carrying 19 bags of marijuana into the Fulton County Courthouse, police said.

Police at the courthouse noticed something suspicious in Ricky Hefflin’s back left pocket when he went through the building's metal detector.

According to the police report, Hefflin, 26, of Atlanta, was instructed to empty his pockets but refused, stating “I don’t have anything.”

The arresting officer stopped Hefflin from proceeding, asking him again to empty his pockets.

When Hefflin didn’t move, the officer told Hefflin to place his hands against the wall and proceeded to search him.

The officer uncovered a clear plastic bag with 19 smaller bags inside containing marijuana.

Hefflin, who already had an active warrant, was charged with possession with intent to distribute in addition to two simple battery charges.

Wiki says

In the United States, criminal battery, or simply battery, is the use of force against another, resulting in harmful or offensive contact

Possession of 15 batteries or more is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.

it doesnt make sence, its like tis rewarding you by saying "or more" i just cant figure this one out for some reason. its like that one thing that makes you mix up your letters but with problem solving.

I would explain it..but I feel like it's simple enough to figure out by yourself in no more than 5 seconds.

I'll let this unravel itself out.

it just seems wrong, like it should say "Or less" rather than more. the wording to me makes it sound like you could have 15, or 1500 battery charges but youd still spend a month in jail and lose 500$ lol. i guess i understand now when other people dont understand something i think is extremely simple... or im just over thinking it.

lol it was basically my weed laws in my state, but instead of 30 grams or less, i put 15 batteries or more..
