Alleged Pot Dealer Arrested in Lansdale

Jennifer Crawford, of the 100 block of Penn Street, Lansdale, was being investigated by Souderton Police Department before she moved to Lansdale

 

A Lansdale resident, who was initially under investigation by Souderton Police for alleged marijuana sales in Souderton, was arrested and charged Dec. 7 by Lansdale Police for allegedly dealing marijuana from her Penn Street residence.

Jennifer Victoria Crawford, 22, of the 100 block of Penn Street, is charged with felony manufacture, delivery or possession of marijuana with intent to manufacture or deliver; misdemeanor posession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor possession of marijuana, according to court records.

Crawford was arraigned Dec. 7 before District Judge Harold Borek and remanded to Montgomery County prison in lieu of $10,000 cash bail, according to court records.

Crawford posted bond on Dec. 10, according to court records.

A preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 12 at 2:15 p.m. in Lansdale.

In July 2012, Souderton Borough Police initiated an investigation on Crawford after receiving information that she was allegedly selling marijuana from her apartment on the 100 block of West Broad Street in Telford, police said.

During the investigation, Crawford moved to Lansdale.

In October 2012, Lansdale Police Street Crimes Unit members continued Souderton Police's investigation on Crawford.

Between October and December, Lansdale and Souderton police conducted surveillance of Crawford's residence in Lansdale for alleged marijuana trafficking, police said.

Police also conducted controlled purchases of marijuana from Crawford at her home, police said. 

On Dec. 7, at 6 a.m., narcotics agents from Lansdale and Souderton police executed a search warrant on Crawford's home on Penn Street.

Seized in the search were marijuana, about $350 in cash, a digital scale and numerous assorted plastic bags, police said.

I’m reading people on FB sticking up for her saying its just pot... and yes your right its just pot but regardless of if we agree with it or not its the law and she broke it over and over again. This is a good wakeup call to her she’s been going downhill for a while now and needs to get her priorities in order.

Hey ana..... Shut up. The laws are made to protect the citizens of our country. When over 95% of the country either smokes weed or has no problem with people who do, its not the "pot dealers" that are wrong. Its the laws that are wrong. Especially when in many states its been decriminalized. Even in philadelphia its decriminalized. People like you who simply say, "its the law, we have to obey it" are the problem. This country was started by people like you and me who stood up and finally said enough is enough. Our government ruins everyday peoples lives, for what? To get a 22 year old "pot dealer" off the streets? 350$? Its obsurd and a little disgusting.

Joseph...where do you get 95% of the population smokes pot or does not care about those who do. You must be high yourself...like right this minute. It’s the law. You cannot sell pot! If want to buy pot, go to anyone of the states that have made it legal and stop crying!!! You, and people like you, are asses! You’re a selfish person who wants what you want and does not care about anyone else. I bet when you were younger you always won a trophy in sports or got an “A” for effort when you failed your math test! Drugs have ruined our society. They have stolen our kid’s futures and robbed them of their innocence. Oh and did I mention you’re an ass!

Yeah you guys really busted a kingpin there. Haha. Tax payers money well spent I say!! Really? Thousands of our dollars spent on a small time marijuana dealer when there is a heroin epidemic going on in the entire region. How about doin something about the drugs that actually ruin lives and have killed people I know. Do your research. I never knew smoking some marijuana and watching cartoons is so life threatening. Why are all these states decriminalizing it? They must be crazy! Everyone is going to be stoned out of their minds, corrupting the youth, buying all the Cheetos so your fat kids can't have any. Oh god the humanity!!! < to point out to the stuck up bitches, this is sarcasm. It's something only a person who has a sense of humor can understand. I understand a stick up the ass can prevent comprehension.

... All while 'Big Pharma' is pushing Oxy's and Codeine on everyone.
This "War on Drugs" is one big joke. 5 major banks, including Bank of America, were recently busted for laundering drug money for the cartels in Mexico. HSBC was one of those banks, and NONE of their top executives are serving jail time. HSBC was only slapped with a 1.9 billion dollar fine, and thats only a slap on the wrist because that bank made 14 billion dollars in profit over the past 2 years. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-34227_162-57558519/feds-outline-hsbc-ties-to-laundering-drug-money/
Anyone who honestly researches the history behind HOW and WHY marijuana became illegal, will learn that this prohibition on a plant is complete BS. Next time to click to google.com, search 'The Shafer Commission', and you'll be amazed.

If most of the population does not have a problem and have tried marijuana, then I don't see why our government spends so much time and money on a business that will just keep growing and expanding! The government will never end the war going on with marijuana and the harmless people who take part in it! They should be focusing on the major drug issues that are actually 100% proven to ruin peoples lives, like meth and heroin. I see more failing attempts to end the war on marijuana than I see ANY attempt at all for more major issues on drugs that are actually serious. Also, another thing I don't understand is why our society sees marijuana as such a huge drug problem when WE ARE MANUFACTURING MAN MADE DRUGS THAT ARE MORE HARMFUL THAN MARIJUANA!! Seams like a bunch of BS if you ask me. Shows a lot about our government and the lack of knowledge our society has about the government and related topics as such. Read and know facts first things are not what they seem

If the PD really has this much free time on their hands, how about spending it nabbing everyone making illegal left turns onto and off of Main St.? It would be far more lucrative, and probably more likely to save lives as well!

Fuck lansdale and souderton police. She should rep herself and push for jury nullification. That's how to beat n***er laws of yesteryear. For those of you hating on this girl and people defending marijuana reform, why don't you move out of MY free country? The Founding Fathers would SPIT in your UN-American, stupid faces. Hemp and marijuana were REQUIRED to be grown here before 1938. That alone makes the current government patents on compounds derived from the plant illegal - so, it's (weed) never going Pharma. We, The People, are overgrowing this shit-whore government and replacing it with what it was like 100-200 years ago when you could shit in your backyard without the govt watching you from a drone. If you get in the way, you will be destroyed.
