Prosecutor Seeks Jail Time For Property Owner On "Weed Possession" Charges

In Chandler, Arizona, The Arizona Republic reports:

• A Chandler prosecutor wants former downtown business owner Pablo Pescador to go to jail for leaving weeds and debris on his property. The businessman's lawyer said that would be outrageous. "This is ludicrous; the case is out of control," said Jonathan Dessaules, attorney for 48-year-old Pescador, who lives in Queen Creek. [...] "I have never heard of anyone going to jail for weeds. When I mention it to other attorneys, they ask, 'you mean pot?' And I say, 'no, weeds'."
