Hey, I have an idea for how we can cut the budget…
Finally, this criminal posing as a functioning, contributing member of society will be added to our permanent underclass. And to think, it will only cost the tax payer $162,020.
But wait a moment- what about her children? We can’t have a relative of the children raising them, they might have a shot at a decent life. Oh, nevermind, we arrested their grandmother as well:
Police say Spottedcrow and her 50-year-old mother Delita Starr sold $11 worth of pot to an undercover cop at her home in 2009 on New Year’s Eve, according to The Oklahoman. Two weeks later, the cop came back and bought $20 worth of marijuana.
Both women were arrested and charged with drug distribution. And since Spottedcrow’s children were present in the home during the drug deal, the pair was also charged with possession of a dangerous substance in the presence of a minor, according to the paper.
So, two children are without parents and the tax payer is out $324,040, plus the cost of raising the orphans we made. Sounds like our legal system works just fine to me!
