A Cary man was jailed in Mecklenburg County this week after agents confiscated 1.6 pounds of “high-grade” marijuana from his luggage at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.

Michael Dean Markham, 29, was charged with felony possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana and was jailed on $3,500 bond.

According to a search warrant, the arrest came after a suitcase with “a large bag of marijuana” was confiscated Tuesday at Sacramento, Calif, International Airport. Federal agents kept the luggage there instead of sending it on its scheduled flight to Charlotte.

When Markham landed in Charlotte that night, he inquired about his luggage and was told it would arrive the next morning, according to the search warrant. No one claimed the suitcase when it arrived, and police seized it.

"felony possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana and was jailed on $3,500 bond."

Not bad, not bad...10% of bond $350...Max fines $1000 on intent and delivery $2000...maybe I should move back to NC!

Lol, that was me... Plead down to personal use after I explained why I brought that quantity with me("medical reasons").
The DEA agents out there had a lot of questions. They were ill-informed at best on how California's legal market works. I explained how a legal cannabis grow functions. They all considered a career change momentarily. After explaining my situation the federal cops wanted to let me go but, in the end... I got my job and they have theirs. I let my lawyer do her job and got a light slap on the wrist. Plus, they missed the 4 oz of shatter I carried on the flight so, not a total loss
