TIM LINCECUM WON’T FACE WEED POSSESSION CHARGES

Giants Lincecum Pot Baseball

Tim Lincecum was pulled over for speeding this week with a small amount of marijuana and a pipe. As a result, he was facing a $250 fine for possession and a $122 fine for the speeding violation.

Turns out that the speeding was the only charge that will stick. The Clark County District Attorney has dropped the marijuana charge. Here’s what DA Grant Hansen said about the dropped charge:

“Any Joe blow would get (this deal). The way we see it, we can do something to him or we can do something for him. If we can give him a little leniency the first time, in my opinion, it goes further for being law-compliant in the future than if we kick him in the teeth.”

Hansen indicated that about 10-20 similar marijuana possession cases were dropped PER WEEK in the county. Technically, Lincecum agreed to plead guilty of the paraphernalia charge for his pipe with the drug possession charge being dropped. It’s unclear if the Giants plan to punish him for the incident.
