I am going to have to find him not guilty.
This is a very reasonable explanation.
A Stock Island man who police said had 33 grams of cocaine in his home told deputies he was just being a good Samaritan.
Jamie Barber said he found the cocaine in the street on Stock Island and he picked it up. But he didn’t want to throw it away because the neighborhood kids might find it in the garbage, according to the arrest report.
Barber was arrested May 18 on charges of felony cocaine trafficking, 51 felony counts of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and misdemeanor counts of possession of a drug without a prescription and drug equipment.
Barber was found with 50 rounds of ammunition to fit a .22 handgun, the report stated. He said he was holding the gun for a friend.
He has been charged with 51 felony counts of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and misdemeanor counts of possession of a drug without a prescription and drug equipment and is being held on $80k bond.
