But an argument with an ex-girlfriend in May led city police to the doorstep of 22-year-old Marlon Green.
And inside his Annapolis Neck Peninsula apartment, detectives found more than $110,000 in crack cocaine and marijuana and a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver.
"This is an unusual case in that he does not have a record," Assistant State's Attorney Kathy Evans said Thursday in county Circuit Court in Annapolis.
Green - a single father of two who was working at T.J. Maxx at the time of his arrest - pleaded guilty to possession...

might as well post a billboard - 2009-10-27 09:07:02
This will not deter drug traffic here, if anything it promotes it. Prosecutors got a gift wrapped case and offered a third of the federal recommendation. A disgrace to say the least. I feel less safe because criminals know they will get hardly a slap on the wrist for getting millions to poison out community. I know the state needs money, but this is not the way to go about it. We should stop paying these prosecutors, a better idea.

Yes it is sad - 2009-10-26 23:12:25
That he will be out in 5 years
possession of 990 grams of cocaine with intent to distribute and possession of a handgun while drug trafficking
Green had just pointed a gun at her and threatened her life, but prosecutors yesterday dropped all charges related to the alleged assault.
As part of a plea agreement with the state, Circuit Court Judge William C. Mulford sentenced him to 10 years in prison, but suspended all but five years.
With all said above, the biggest part of our problems are with the Court system. He should have got 10 or more years for the amount in possession and the gun charge alone. We have Judges with no backbone or a mind anymore.
And his uncle says, He's a good boy. Question is,Wonder if and how much the uncle had to do with it ??

Sad? - 2009-10-26 15:34:40
Why is it sad, he was breaking the law and got caught. Any why would it be good to legalize drugs, the only one that I could think of that wouldn't cause harm is marijuana. Anything else would be crazy to legalize.
