Grandma Found With 214lbs of Pot Convicted of Drug-Running to fuel Bingo Addiction

SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. � A grandmother found with a trunkful of marijuana was convicted of drug running in what prosecutors said was an attempt to earn cash for a bingo habit.

State troopers found 10 bundles of pot totaling 214 pounds hidden in Leticia Villareal Garcia's car trunk last year when they stopped her outside Bisbee, in far southeastern Arizona.

Villareal, 61, told jurors before they convicted her Thursday that her only regular income was a $275 monthly welfare check, but she frequently played bingo and occasionally won thousands of dollars.

Prosecutor Doyle Johnstun said the game was Villareal's undoing.

"People who play bingo almost every night of the week end up losing in the long run," Johnstun told jurors. "The underlying issue is that she's got a bingo problem, which explains why an otherwise nice person might get sucked into something like this."

Jurors rejected Villareal's argument that she'd been tricked into carrying the drugs.

Villareal faces three to 12 years in state prison when she is sentenced Dec. 18.

I've gone to play bingo with my grandmother two or three times. It's fun when you win $200, but outside of that I'd rather shoot myself.

Don't forget a portable shower. Each time I've gone I've smelled of cigarette smoke sooooo bad, and that's after sitting in the non-smoking room.

Posted by Lilith on Feb-02-2007 00:37:

I always thought that was just old-person smell, a mix of lavender, smoke, bacon fat and slow death... maybe it isnt cigarette smoke after all

sierra vista is a big time place for drugs. Since it only about 16 miles from mexico, most drug runners end up coming from the mountains. Ironically its located at a military base. That place is infested with border partol agents. Its very common for them to pull $500,000 drug busts.
