Michael O. Williams, no age given, of 4 Little St., Manchester, was charged with possession of marijuana.
I thought CT decriminalized marijuana last year and that possession of small amounts would be the same as speeding tickets but the MPD still puts it out in their records and it's in the blotter like with Michael above here, what is the deal? Did I understand the change in law wrong? I probably did.
It's less than half an ounce of marijuana for it to be "decriminalized." Possession of marijuana exceeding a half ounce is still an arrestable offense. I believe Michael's case was listed as a criminal violation and not the infraction. But police still make the infraction info available to the public as well, as well as traffic violations.
