On Drugs: Alternative sentencing for marijuana possession

As a student in Princeton, the Indiana governor was arrested in a police ating. Daniels was cited for pot possession but got off with a $350 fine for "maintaining a common nuisance." He later called the incident an "unfortunate confluence of my wild oats period and America's libertine apogee". As governor, Daniels has endorsed alternative sentencing for non-violent offenses like pot possession as a way to reduce prison overcrowding.
