The Boston Globe's Invisible Stink

Never appeared in my paper:

"2 DCR employees accused of selling marijuana" by John M. Guilfoil, Globe Staff | July 25, 2010

Two Department of Conservation and Recreation summer employees were arrested after allegedly selling marijuana to undercover state troopers on Revere Beach last night, the Suffolk district attorney’s office said.

Alexis David, 17, of Roxbury and Jordan Jones, 21, of Jamaica Plain allegedly sold a small amount of marijuana to plainclothes troopers conducting routine antidrug operations, said Jake Wark, a spokesman for District Attorney Daniel F. Conley.

Conley’s office said State Police are engaged in ongoing drug interdiction activity on Revere Beach, which led to the arrest of the two suspects....

Wark said a small amount of marijuana changed hands.

He noted that while possession of less than 1 ounce of the drug has been decriminalized in Massachusetts, the sale of marijuana remains a crime.

No other crimes to solve, 'eh?
