Weimer Guilty on 13 of 14 Counts

Gila County Superior Court Judge Robert Duber has found 38 year old Allen Weimer of Globe guilty of possession of marijuana for sale, transportaion of marijuana for sale, production of marijuana, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, and misconduct involving weapons.

Weimer was arrested on March 2, 2010 after Globe Police received information that he was selling marijuana out of his business, Cutting Edge Streetware. When they executed a search warrant, officers found a Tupperware-type dish with individually packaged baggies of marijuana that he had transported from his home to his business. Officers searched his home and found a larger bag of marijuana along with three handguns, four rifles and drug paraphernalia.

Weimer requested a jury trial, but in March of 2011 he chose a bench trial instead. At his trial on June 30, he interrupted the trial to plead guilty to 13 of the 14 counts against him. He was found not guilty on the other count.

Weimer will be sentenced by Judge Duber on August 1. He is eligible for probation but he could receive a sentence of up to 47 years.
