I had to google what weed costs, and I came up with $200 an ounce (if that's too expensive or too cheap I'm not highly concerned), that parlays into his 13 lbs being worth roughly $40,000. Couple that with an electronic money counter and this guy wasn't exactly small potatoes. If he gets a real job and pays some taxes we'd not be supporting him with health care and all the other trappings a citizen enjoys that the government (ie: us sorry taxpayers) supply.
BGSH: the cops got this one because he basically handed himself over; they're happy catching big time operators down to smalltimer's. Can't blame them for grabbing the one that jumped into the boat
