Oh, and I thought this was funny: Martial Law Department. It's a play on word for all you who are slow in English.

Yes, while cocaine, methamphetamine, and ****** (?) are major problems, marijuana is tolerated in many larger metro areas due to its lack of harm to all those except individuals who choose to participate in its use. It is a less harmful substance than alcohol and it is being treated almost the same as coke or smack in the legal system. I do believe that posting $10,000 bail for the sale of a 1/2 ounce of marijuana to be completely absurd. It is forcing unnecessary police control on the small society of Marshall.

Oldlady, the Police do not arrest for no reason. If they did that there would be lawsuits everyday. Why dont you nose a little farther into the Police's business and find out the real facts. You should be happy these people are being taken off the streets, afterall, criminals have been proven to target the elderly more than any other age group.

Gretta, they were arrested because they were involved in a drug deal. Does it really matter which drug it was? The police are not trying to get one drug off the streets they are trying to get all of them off. You ever heard of a Gateway Drug? Get your head out of your ***!

The Police are just doing their job. If you look suspicious they are going to stop and talk to you and make sure everything is ok. They dont know who you are..... you could methed up with a gun, they dont know. Put yourself in their shoes. If the world didnt have a bunch of crazy idiots and life was a big "Full House" episode the police wouldnt have to stop and question everyone. If you dont like it, Move! And if you dont appreciate the police, dont call and ask for one to help you in an emergency!

Oldlady, I agree with you. The Marshall PD has even harrassed my dad because he was walking home from work at 2am thinking he was drunk because he was walking at night. My dad doesnt drink at all!

I am an older citizen from the area and have no respect for the Marshall police department. I have witnessed how they treat our young adults. Arresting them because they can for no reason. The old saying is "criminals and cops are the same, both picked on in high school" Sure I want drug's off the street's but I think there is some drama involved here too. Innocent til proven guilty or til they can't afford to fight it any more. Taxes will go up over this one because who pays the public defender?

Im not saying it's okay to sell pot. I just think that Marshall's meth problem should be their main focus.

Well you see Gretta, that 1/4 ounce is part of a pound. That pound is part of a trunk load. That trunk load is part of a...you get the point. The "cops" are trying to keep these sellers out of town...and away from kids like mine! As far as i'm concerned I hope they keep it up!
