Victimless Crime File: Be Careful Who You Smoke With Edition

19-year-old Isaiah Garcia was chillin’ with his homie as we used to say, smoking a little weed with 25-year-old Virgil Garcia. Reports are unclear about what their relationship is, they could be brothers, cousins or just friends who happen to share the same last name. What’s strikes me as odd is a person in their mid-20s sitting around smoking pot with a 19-year-old, but then again I’m a prude.

So were the police that kicked in their door, no doubt startling Isaiah. What probably startled Isaiah more is why police were there in the first place:

During the evening of May 29, 2009, Curry County Sheriff’s Office investigators, with assistance from the Clovis Police Department, executed a Search Warrant at 809 Laurelwood, Apartment A, concerning an investigation into sexual exploitation of children by use of the Internet.

Virgil Garcia (25 YOA) and Isaiah Garcia (19 YOA) were found inside the residence.  Both were found in the process of smoking marijuana.

Sheriff’s Office investigators conducted a preliminary on-scene forensic scan on a computer located in the residence. Thirteen images and three videos of child pornography were located.  The computer was seized for additional analysis.

Virgil Garcia was arrested and charged with 16 counts of Sexual Exploitation of Children (4th degree felonies) along with misdemeanor charges for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.  He is being held on an $81,500 bond at the Curry County Detention Center.

Isaiah Garcia was arrested and charged with Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He is being held on a $1,500 bond.

What? That “cool guy” you party with that’s been out of high school for almost a decade but still manages to have friends who are in high school is a pervert? Who would have thought?

Isaiah learned the hard way that people who haven’t given up getting high, with teenagers no less, by the time they’re in their mid-20s have other problems that make them the kind of people best avoided. Pathologically immature at best, and in many cases they’re simply parasitic degenerates who believe society owes them something and that they’re so special they deserve to break any law they want.

Be careful who you smoke with stoners. Many of your “friends” are just like Virgil Garcia.
