PHOENIX (AP):Authorities say Lean on Me actor Jermaine 'Huggy' Hopkins has been arrested in Phoenix for trying to buy 200 pounds (91 kilograms) of marijuana from an undercover officer.
Sheriff's detectives say the 38-year-old Hopkins was taken into custody Tuesday. Phoenix TV station KSAZ reports that detectives found 200 pounds of marijuana in his SUV and $100,000 cash.
Authorities later searched an Avondale apartment listed in Hopkins' name. They say they found another 100 pounds (45 kilograms) of marijuana.
Hopkins starred in the 1989 movie Lean on Me at 15 and has appeared on several TV shows.
Hopkins lives in North Carolina. He is being held on US$35,000 bond on suspicion of two felony counts of possessing, transporting and trying to sell marijuana.

I get it, federal authorities are allowed selling drugs and get to keep money made from such transactions,then bust people to seize their own product and then go re-sell said product to do it all over again! This is genious business plan and the kicker is seizure and forfeiture laws to take everything these people own! Sounds totally criminal to me,but ill do as they say,not as they do..

I'm confused as to why this dude was trying to buy another 200 lbs of pot when he already had 300 lbs of it...

Because weed is a good investment, if you have it there's always someone who wants to buy it

Yup, the more lbs. you buy at one time, the better deal you generally get. Roll that over and sell qp's and lbs, that's a great profit!

The article said he had 100 lbs at home, not 300.

He had 100 at home, and 200 in his SUV (separate from the 200 he was arrested "trying to buy").
It's okay bro I'm usually terrible at math too.
