Man Pleads Guilty In County’s Largest Pot Bust Ever

BERLIN — A New Jersey man arrested last December in what is believed to be the largest marijuana bust in Worcester County history pleaded guilty this week in U.S. District Court to one count of possession with intent to distribute and now faces up for 40 years in prison and a fine of up to $5 million.

Around 4:30 p.m. last Dec. 30, a Maryland State Police trooper in an unmarked car with its blue and red lights flashing was stopped on the shoulder of Route 113 just north of Germantown Rd. in Berlin. A short time later, a Toyota Sienna van driven by Donald Gayle, 54, of New Brunswick, N.J., passed the MSP trooper in the right lane and failed to move to the center lane in violation of the state’s recently passed “move over” law.

How much weight? I remember Jack Richardson bringing a boat in that had like a ton or more of pot coming into Ocean City.

Then there was the time many moons ago when bales of weed washed ashore and boardwalk t-shirt hawkers had "Save The Bales" T-shirts.

Then there was the time all those bundles of Columbian black hash was washing up on the beach. Ahhh the good ole dayz living in West OC!

Yeah, at 35 cents an hour in the slam, he'll pay that $5 million off in about 4,892 years.
Good luck with that.
