Grandma got busted!!

The 73 year old Grandmother, was busted with 4 pounds of marijuana and approximately $270,000.00 in cash.  Darlene Mayes is now known as a drug trafficker.  She had been under investigation for the last two years.  She was not just the run of the house drug dealer, I guess you could say.  She was not the "neighborhood" dealer, her operation was spread over the four states area. 

"Investigators say the elderly woman supplied about 40 percent of the pot circulating in the area, including the city of Tulsa and parts of nearby Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri. …

Mayes first tried to tell officers that the money was her retirement fund, [Vinita police chief Bobby] Floyd said. He said Mayes may have been trafficking marijuana for as long as two decades."

WOW!  I can understand elderly people needing to make an extra income, but this was shocking.  I understand that millions of elderly people live on amounts that are below the poverty level and often go without medications or food because their checks do not cover everything that they need.  This lady was making a killing selling marijuana, and she even tried to tell the police that the money that they found in her house was for her "retirement fund."  This had to have shocked her family, her neighbors, people that she has known for years.  You have to laugh at the very thought of this Grandma being known as a major drug dealer and supplier of at least 40% of the pot in this area.  She really does not fit the "image" of a drug dealer. I guess you never know what some people will do to make money.  I do not know what I would do if that were my Grandmother.....I think I would still be in shock,
