Like hunting over a baited field
When I was a Paramedic in central Georgia, I had a buddy named Phil. Phil was an RN.
One night Phil had gone over to the big city, Macon. He was sitting by himself in a night club.
Over came a good looking blonde who sat down next to Phil at the bar. They talked for a few minutes, and the girl asked Phil if he had any pot.
Phil said that yes, he did.
She asked Phil if he would like to go to her car and smoke a joint.
What a bold move by the cute blonde! Phil was thinking this was going to be his night to get lucky.
They went out to her car in the parking lot. Then, the blonde asked Phil to sell her some pot.
Well, Phil wasn't a pot dealer, he made $45K as a nurse, so he didn't need to sell pot. He told her that he didn't want to sell any pot, he just had three joints.
She said, "Well sell me 2 joints for ten bucks, so that I can have some pot to take with me."
Phil sold her the pot.
Once he put the ten dollar bill in his billfold, the blonde waved her hand in the air. There was a van parked next to the girl's car, the van door opened and out came the SWAT team.
The girl showed Phil her badge, she was a GBI agent.
Phil was charged with felony sale of narcotics.

So the moral of the story is never trust a Hot Blonde. 0 -
What a "DOPE"[:0] 0 -
seems like a good lawyer could have gotten him off on entrapment or something like that... 0 -
ECC: The entrapment case wont work. The ding Dong didnt have to sell the stuff.
If entrapment were the case then all the child preditors that were lured to a place thinking an underage person was there when there really wasnt could cry foul...
These sting operations are a temptation type thing. They never force anyone to do anything, they put out the opertunity and then if you take the bait, bingo!!!!0 -
Sounds to me like an easy case to get out of, however, a good attorney probably would have cost many times more than just paying a fine and getting a few months probation. 0 -
So, as someone who just retired after 31 1/2 years as an RN, I gotta ask-did his state board of nursing take his license, make him go to mandatory treatment or ? 0 -
In Va. you cant get your RN with a Felony conviction. I think its like putting the cat in the bird cage then punishing the cat for eating the bird. As Classic said no one made people to make these choices of temptation. 0 -
They must have been soooo desperate for a dope bust. Why go after someone like him? Why don't they target real drug dealers. But I guess he learned a lesson from all this. My sister is a trauma nurse and one night she invited me to a party with her co-workers, so I went. I couldn't believe all the nurses that smoked pot! I was just a little shocked to see so many of them smoking that stuff. P.S... my sister wasn't one of them she don't care for it. 0 -

50-70RB that is a good question, did Phil lose his license?
Phil had gone over to Macon by himself that night. He worked in a little county hospital 60 miles away.
He bonded out that night, and went back to work the next day as though nothing had happened. He told nobody, including me, one of his best friends, about his legal problems. His little rinky dink bust didn't make the paper, and nobody knew Phil had been arrested.
He hired a lawyer, and the legal process dragged on for about a year.
At that time, he was convicted of felony sale of narcotics, and sentenced to 3 months in jail. I am pretty sure he pleaded out and did not go to trial, he wanted to keep it quiet.
He told his friends that he was going on a vacation to Maine, just going to get away from it all for a while.
He told the hospital that he was stressed out, and needed a 3 month leave of absence. They said, "OK, but you will come back to work in 3 months won't you?"
There is always a shortage of RNs.
So Phil did his time, and in three months was right back at work as if nothing had happened.
However, he was on two year's probation. One rule of probation was that he could not be around any drugs. So, his probation officer contacted the hospital and told them the deal.
Well the hospital was not too badly bent out of shape. They made Phil go to a 1 month drug rehab course, and then they put him on a sort of internal probation where he could not administer morphine or Demerol, until he had completed his state probation, but he went right back to work after the month in drug rehab. Plus, the hospital paid for the rehab.
He never lost his license and he still works as an RN.
By the way, Georgia has a "Break for the First Offenders" rule. After Phil completed his probation, he had all his rights restored, including firearms rights, and is legally treated as though he never got busted. But the judge told him, "Don't come back into my courtroom," and the judge was not smiling when he said it.
In the hospital where I worked it was not too unusual for an employee to get into problems with drugs. One male RN on the orthopedic floor, he worked night shift, got caught stealing Demerol and SHOOTING UP WHILE ON DUTY.
The staff did not call the law, they sent him off to a 3 month drug rehab, paid by the hospital, and he was right back at work.
Six months later the orthopedic floor supervisor noticed that Demerol was going missing again. This time the hospital contacted the GBI. The GBI came in and put an invisible powder on the Demerol ampules on the orthopedic floor. Sure enough, about 3 am one of the amps was missing. GBI agents were standing by in the hospital that night. The GBI grabbed that RN and held his hands under a light, I think a black light, that made that invisible powder glow. The nurse's hands lit up like a Christmas tree. They led him out in handcuffs, he never came back. I was working that night and I saw him get arrested.
Two strikes and you're out, I guess.0 -
