Brothers serving 10-year terms for drug trafficking
By KIMBERLY DICK Newark Advocate
NEWARK - Two brothers are each serving 10 years in prison for having more than 9,000 grams of mushrooms in the trunk of a vehicle they were driving on Interstate 70 near Kirkersville last April.
Richard J. Bair, 33, of Frazeysburg, pleaded guilty Tuesday to first-degree felony aggravated trafficking in drugs and aggravated possession of drugs charges associated with psilocybin mushrooms. Bair changed his plea Tuesday afternoon in Licking County Common Pleas Court after cooperating with authorities and aiding in ongoing investigations.
Central Ohio Drug Enforcement Task Force officers caught the brothers with 9,426 grams of mushrooms on April 17, 2006, after an investigation. Nicholas A. Bair, 28, of Dresden, also was sentenced to a 10-year mandatory prison term in January after pleading guilty to similar charges related to this incident.
Licking County Assistant Prosecutor Ken Oswalt previously had said the drugs were prepared for distribution.
Because of the amount and classification of the drug, both faced a 10-year mandatory sentence if convicted, CODE Task Force Capt. Bruce Myers said after the arrest.
The 10-year mandatory sentence Judge Thomas Marcelain imposed Tuesday was the minimum in the case. Richard Bair could have been sentenced up to an additional 10 years.
Richard Bair is not eligible for judicial release and will be on parole for five years after his release. He has to pay a mandatory $10,000 fine in addition to court costs.
His driver's license is also suspended for three years, and he forfeits more than $1,200 confiscated at his arrest.

Couldn't they have just said 20 pounds? Or does that number not seem as shocking?

Or how about 9 kilograms? The only reason I put it in headline like that was because that was how it was spelled in the article!

He can't walk around his cell with his hands in front of him and saying "beep beep" without fear of getting pulled over and getting ticketed for driving with a suspended license?

Or better yet, 9 kilos.
It's always interesting to see law enforcement removing safe mushrooms from the streets so people will be forced instead into identifying their own from the wild, possibly amongst lethal ones.

mandatory minimums need to be done away with...that is legislating the duties of the judicial branch, and therefore should be deemed unconstitutional. What a shitty situation though.

The drug laws in place for this are ridiculous, I cannot belive this, it doesnt matter if they had a large quantity, put that aside and think of this: both those men are losing 10 YEARS of their life for having magic mushrooms.
Fuck this society if it puts two men behind bars for that, and fuck the law if this is what the lawmakers belive is good for society.
If it were coke, herion, or meth I wouldnt make this post, because those drugs have destroyed many lives, but mushrooms? Changes need to me made.

10 years... that was the minimum. 20 years for dealing mushrooms? Murderers get about that in some cases here. The laws were written and voted by people who think psilocybin is a deadly poison...perhaps the next generation will not be represented by ignorants.

Nicely put. As a voter, I'm always perplexed by the low turn-out in elections.
