Judge went along with a Plea Bargain it was Jenkin's who made the deal. Maybe they've never had a celebrity in their jail and knowing the butler mentality they were not going to let a black man get by without some hospitality to make sure he never comes back....
According to the Bates County Circuit Court, the prosecuting attorney (Hugh C. Jenkins 1 N. Delaware Butler, MO 64730 PH. 660.679.4030) in the case filed charges of Class A possession of marijuana and Class D misdemeanor of drug paraphernalia against Harris. Both are misdemeanors. There were no felony charge filed against Harris.
In a plea deal, Harris was given a suspended sentence for the charge of possession of marijuana, which included two years unsupervised probation, 80 hours of community service, completion of the NFL’s drug treatment program and two days in jail. He’s already completed the NFL’s drug treatment program, according to the court, and started serving the two days in jail on March 9.
