AP GraphicGULFPORT, Miss. (AP) - A federal grand jury has indicted a man for trying to buy at least 20 pounds of marijuana in south Mississippi.
A DEA agent's affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Gulfport says Raldo Booth discussed with an informant buying as much as 500 pounds of marijuana in April. The affidavit says Booth brought $20,000 to a subsequent meeting in July in Gulfport and as attempted to buy 50 pounds when he was arrested. Booth allegedly told the informant that he would bring more money and buy a larger amount the next time.
Court records say Booth told the informant he had sold marijuana in Savannah, Ga., and that the car he was driving had Georgia plates.
He was indicted Tuesday. His attorney did not immediately respond to a message.
