Man pulls out bag of drugs during court, gets arrested  October 5, 2007 - newarkadvocate.com
NEWARK -- A Dublin man expressed regret Wednesday in Licking County Municipal Court for not hiding his drugs in a more secretive, but also likely uncomfortable, location.
Daniel Vanwalsen, 20, had been found guilty of complicity, a first-degree misdemeanor, minutes earlier by Judge Michael Higgins for his role in a theft at a Heath gas station in January.
After voicing his displeasure with the ruling, Higgins said Vanwalsen was asked by bailiff Phil Rhodes if he had any contraband in his possession.
Vanwalsen promptly bent over and produced a bag of heroin from his shoe and proclaimed he was an addict.
He was arrested by Newark police on felony drug abuse charges.
Before his arrest, Vanwalsen told onlookers in the court lobby that he should have stashed his heroin in his rectum, Higgins said.

It's not like that they can do anything but charge him with a felony. Possession of any amount of heroin is a felony. A needle that tests positive for heroin is enough to be 'possession of heroin'. It sucks, and they will probably plead him out.

The government would much rather spend money to convict him and put him behind bars then place him in a rehab program that may actually help him. Go Figure.

You guys just think about the costs here. The government and the whole US is pretty much run on the greed of power and money.
I would think that it would cost more money to put him in a rehab center than to place him in a jail or some type of correctional facility, right?
lol on another note, i find it funny that they call it a "correctional facility" when very few people that go to them leave in a "correct" state of mind. usually they just go back to doin the same shit
