Funny. I just read the Baltimore Sun story about his plan to cash in on the County Executive's file and there was no mention of this.

I hope he loses and then can't get his job back.

Snowden, 58, sent a certified letter on April 10 to County Attorney Jonathan A. Hodgson, providing notice of his intent to sue, as required by law governing such actions, said Cary J. Hansel, Snowden's attorney.

In the suit, Snowden will claim he suffered emotional distress after County Executive John R. Leopold was accused in a criminal indictment of ordering his security detail to compile a dossier about him, the letter said. Snowden's attorney demanded $20 million to settle the case. That offer stands only until the suit is officially filed, according to the letter.

I guess all that emotional distress forced him to toke up.

I guess it's a good thing that no one with control of the police department prepared or kept an enemies file on Mr. Snowden. Because this marijuana arrest on 4/20 would look highly suspicious if not poltically motivated. I wonder who's next on Leopolds hit list?

So you really think they pulled him over in Baltimore City because of pressure from Leopold? Maybe if the serial DWI and pot smoker did not put so many other lives at risk with his behavior he would not have such a big file.

I'm sure he has a medical condition requiring marijuana to allevaiate the symptons of, and of course, that fits in his crusade for civil rights as of course it is civil rights to be able to use marijauna for ---of course-- medical conditions.

This Al Sharton wannabe is a bum who has been living off the taxpayers for most of his life in one made up govmint job after another. I guess Gansler thought keeping him placated with his phoney civil rights job with the AG office would help him run for Governor. Kind of backfired on you huh Dougey?

The guy appears to be a serial drunk driver and a doper. It's nice to know that we have people like that working for the Maryland Attorney General's Office.

Ole Carl is a continuous source of amusement and an embarrassment for anyone who supports him. I guess you could say, "old thugs don't die, they just turn into a Carl Snowden".

Snowmen is a race hustler. Just like revum Jesse and and al "tawana Brawley" sharpton

Wow, with his record, he dould move to DC's Ward 8 and replace Marion Barry as Mayor for Life.

[Eastsider]

My prediction is:

Illegal stop and illegal search will be his defense on top of throwing out the race card.

I wonder if he bought the weed from his drug dealer son.

[sigmalady]

Was he driving? The article wasn't clear. You'd think he's have more sense.

I have never seen evidence of that sense

Snowden didn't actually have the drugs. At best they have him on constructive possession.

You think that the B set him up? The Bast-rd being Leopold?
It does have that comical stench of Marion Barry wafting in the air doesn't it?

C&B.....he is a Dem. All he has to do is apologize and all is forgiven. He made an honest mistake. He was depressed. He was set up. He deserves consideration because he is only human. What the hell kind of society does not forgive?

If he were a Republican he would have to resign in disgrace. Move to Cumberland. Change his name. Do 100,000 hours of community service. Marry an ex-nun and eventually switch parties and admit that he is gay and beg for forgiveness. He would still be considered a leper.

Either way the man is not fit to work for the County in his former job.
