CRCM Challenges Sheriff Young
Submitted on July 24, 2006 - 11:43am.
On July 10, CRCM Campaign Manager Neal Levine debated Clark County Sheriff Bill Young on "Face to Face with Jon Ralston." During the program, Ralston cited statistics from the Nevada Department of Public Safety: In 2005, Nevada made more than 5,500 arrests for marijuana offenses, and 4,962 -- nearly 90% -- of these arrests were for simple possession.
The Sheriff's response? "I question those numbers," and, "I disagree with those numbers."
On July 13, CRCM called on Sheriff Young to either acknowledge the truth of these arrest numbers or provide evidence that they are incorrect. The Sheriff's response? Silence, so far. But we're not backing down.
