ADADNeither the Gordo Police Department nor Pickens County District Judge Lance Bailey immediately responded to phone calls requesting comment from The Washington Post. After the officer said he smelled marijuana, Worsley said he was a disabled veteran and tried to show the officer his medical marijuana card from Arizona. “I explained to him that Alabama did not have medical marijuana,” the police report said, according to Appleseed. (It is illegal to possess most types of alcohol in Pickens County, which at the time was one of Alabama’s 23 partially dry counties.) In April, the Pickens County judge sentenced Worsley to five years in prison.
