Joshua Warner, 26, was sentenced to federal prison Thursday for charges related to his ordering of drugs known as Molly and flakka to be delivered to him in the mail. He pleaded guilty in May and is bound to serve three years and 10 months in jail for his possession and intent to sell the dangerous drugs, and now the sentence is leveled up.
Warner's destination behind bars was brought by his 500 grams of ethylone (Molly) and 497 grams of Alpha-PVP (flakka), which also had his friend's address on the package. It was some time January this year, when the officials raided both his home and his friend's. Warner admitted that he was selling these drugs himself, Orlando Sentinels reported.
Some people rant about how shallow the sentence is if the terror of the deadly drugs like Molly and flakka are taken into regard. Flakka, for example has driven thousands to mental illness and even death of the innocent victims of users. This deadly drug has paved way to unfamiliar crimes like eating a man's face and torturing an old lady and a young boy. Such drugs cause unbelievable paranoia and agitation that cost many lives.
It can be recalled in May this year when heroin funding was put into flakka funding. A "flakka bill" is being passed to make sure that offenses related to this drug will be managed from a class-A misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 12 months in jail; to a class-D felony, which is punishable by one to five years in prison, as Daily Independent reported in April.
For an American, three years in jail means a very significant period of time. Such sentence is heavy considering that it may come with paying a fine of $1,000 or up to three times the value of the possessed substance. The maximum fine can go to as much as $150,000.
