Circuit Judge Evelyn Gobbie reversed a prior ruling and upheld Venice’s ordinance mandating a 48 hour jail term for possession of small quantities of marijuana or cocaine. The measure, approved by the Venice City Council, aims to jail offenders briefly and deter drug possession.
Gardner pushed a local mandatory jail term ordinance for drug offenders through Venice City Council after a 3-2 defeat in the county, with a Texas case later ruling the ordinance invalid before Gardner won on appeal. The measure mirrors state law allowing sentence reduction for substantial assistance and aims to curb casual drug use and aid law enforcement.
