Same DA that didn't want to prosecute an LEO that used a minor female to try and do a sting on a bartender at Northgate, and the details of the sting were different than what the LEO reported when he tried to ruin that bartender's life and drag the name of the bar thru the mud?
Or is that a different DA?

My response was in reference to you telling a story about a DA making a decision and enforcing law when they had nothing to do with this decision. You and I are on the same page, I'm just trying to clarify that this county has a DA and a CA. The former doesn't have anything to do with misdemeanor weed prosecutions.

You are literally arguing with me by taking my point and getting deeper into the weeds with it. The entire point of my original comment, which was said with veiled sarcasm, is that when you referred to the District Attorney regarding a misdemeanor crime, you were wrong. The original story you told is great for Bill Turner, but your story about the DA Office had nothing to do with this particular decision which is the singular point I was trying to make.

During a meeting Wednesday night, UPD Chief Mike Johnson told the Regents that non-violent marijuana arrests under two ounces are infrequently pursued after charges are filed. This is why UPD will no longer look to immediately arrest someone they encounter with the possession.
The plan is to confiscate the marijuana and release the person if they are in possession of less than two ounces and are non-violent. The case will then be brought to the County Attorney for review. If they determine charges are necessary, a warrant will be signed and UPD will make contact with the subject.
Chief Johnson said he worked this out with the County Attorney to figure out the best way to free up officers and cut down on criminal charges for students coming from out of state.
