Teen Arrested After Marijuana Mass Mail
May 7th, 2009 by Erin
James “9milz” Truong, 18, from West Hartford has been sentenced to five years in prison, but under a plea deal he will only have to serve one of those years and three years of probation. He was convicted for various drug trafficking related charges after sending mass e-mails to potential buyers, announcing his new acquisition of marijuana. He asked them to call his cell to arrange for pick-ups.
After being arrested three times in the past six months for various charges, you’d think a homeboy would lope his merchandise.
By checking the text messages on Truong’s cell phone, police were able to arrest eight people who bought weed from Truong or his buddy at the two apartments on Oakwood Avenue and Prospect Street in West Hartford. Police recovered more than $3,000 in cash, over 14 ounces of marijuana, digital scales, packaging supplies and cell phones.
