SIERRA VISTA - A grandmother found with a trunkful of marijuana was convicted of drug running in what prosecutors said was an attempt to earn cash for a bingo habit.
State troopers found 10 bundles of pot totaling 214 pounds hidden in Leticia Villareal Garcia’s car trunk last year when they stopped her outside Bisbee, in far southeastern Arizona.
Villareal, 61, told jurors before they convicted her Thursday that her only regular income was a $275 monthly welfare check, but she frequently played bingo and occasionally won thousands of dollars.
As a former police officer along I-44 this is not uncommon caught a Florida couple in thier early 60’s in a caper with 178 pounds of pot and $ 13,000 in cash. They get recruited by the dealers because they think no one will stop them

Wow.
She could have said it was for her cataracts.

214 lbs. of ganja will treat a lot of glaucoma (not so good for cataracts)…
