(33,982 posts)"On Feb. 11, Manzano was placed on 18 months of deferred adjudication probation for two counts of unlawfully carrying a weapon, two counts of possession of marijuana and two counts of possession of a controlled substance. Had he successfully completed the probation, he would not have had convictions in the cases."
"In March 2013, officers pulled Manzano over in a 1996 Lincoln Continental. Police smelled marijuana coming from the car. Officers found marijuana and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax in the car and a .357 handgun in his front waistband. About two months later, officers pulled Manzano over in the same car and again found marijuana and Xanax.
In November, officers stopped him again. This time, they confiscated a black 9mm handgun sitting on the floorboard beneath his feet, according to police records."
Justice system FAIL.
