Grandma Ganja
Septuagenarian was dealing pot from her West Virginia home
MARCH 3--Meet Molly Williams. The 78-year-old West Virginia woman may have the distinction of being America's oldest pot dealer. Williams was nabbed last week on felony drug charges after state police investigators executed a search warrant on the woman's Danville home and discovered two pounds of marijuana. The pot, divided for distribution in plastic baggies, was found stashed in grocery bag at the 'bottom of a deep freeze,' according to a criminal complaint filed in Boone County's Magistrate Court. Williams's boyfriend, 72-year-old Jack White, told cops that the pot was his old lady's and that the weed was sold from her home. If convicted, Williams could face a maximum of 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000. (2 pages)
