"We feel like this is a really big operation," said Sheriff Jimmie Sooter.
The money was seized along with four pounds of marijuana from a house and vehicle four miles east of Vinita off Highway 60.
The amount of confiscated cash is staggering. The suspect is surprising: Darlene Mayes, a 73-year-old grandmother . . . .
Investigators say older folks are becoming more active in drug trafficking. They don't raise as much suspicion and more are turning to drugs as a way to make extra money in their golden years.
"Don't put an age limit on the investigation, because anything can happen," Floyd said.
Hey, if some grand-ma-ma wants to be the AARP version of Pablo Escobar instead of baking muffins and knitting quilts, then more power to her. You think you can survive on social security these days? No way. She understands economics. So she builds up a little nest egg of a quarter of a million dollars and then here come the cops roughing her up worse than Ben Stiller did to Happy Gilmore's grandmother. Took her money. Took her cars. Probably took her cup of warm milk. There just ain't no respect for your elders anymore.

Seriously what does Pot hurt..Drunks beat there wifes, wreck cars and ruin there bodies, the only thing Ive ever hurt was a Bag of Doritos
You know, if our president issued one of his executive orders legalizing marijuana, he'd be re-elected in a land slide.
Good lord. Leave granny and the pot smokers alone.
Drinking has caused way more damage than any pot smoking munchie having slow driving hippie.
And, I'm talking about smoking pot ONLY. Not mixing it with anything else.
Any relation to the Botwins?
At what point are we going to wise up and legalize marijuana. This old lady was doing way less damage than any politician I have ever met. What a joke! Go get'em Barrny.
Drunk people run stop signs.
High people wait for them to turn green.

I don't know, you seem to have murdered the English language in that post of yours.

Yet another result of Obamanomics. Old people resorting to things like drugs and prostitution. And you libs want more of this stuff. Geez!
everybody knows pot is a gateway drug that always leads to herrin and whiskee drankin abuse..
Just legalize all drugs, lower the prices, tax them and sell them in drug stores. Use the tax money for rehab clinics. Then take the Hollywood glamor out of the movies and show what really happen from drug abuse. Most young people start out doing drugs because it was cool to be wasted like in the last movie they saw. That my friends is the sad truth!
She really is a nice old lady.

Romney would have laid her off, contracted out growing, and then sold the operation to a foreign investor.

Don't think so.
You have to get up
off your ass to vote.
12:10 Clueless much?
12:01 All drugs? Stupid much?
11:51 Really? It wasn't a gateway drug to anyone I know.
Obammy will have Eric Holder unleash the New Black Panthers on her because she is white.
So she goes to prison, she'll have 100% health care, three meals a day and a bed and a room for as long as she's there which might be the rest of her life.
Ben Stiller wasnt in Happy Gilmore.
1:07 Nah, I'm thinking either Bridgeport or Runaway Bay.
I see trashy old dirt bags roaming around town all the time in both those places.
Ben Stiller wasnt in Happy Gilmore.
Better check that hoss. I believe he was.

Man....you be cool Granny.....very cool....
Nope, not better. May be worse, even.
Are you a Runaway Bay resident? I think I'm starting to get the hang of the various Wise County dialects.

My old Granny Alice made the best brownies........EVER
ADam Sandler was in Happy Gilmore. It wasn't his character that terrorized his granny.
If you legalize pot, please also legalize meth, heroin, LSD, rooms, etc. Need it all out there so that eventually, hopefully, the users will all die.
Go Granny, Go Granny, Go Granny, Go!

3:33 Hey, punk'n. Rooms are already legal. I have several in my home.
She should supply the Rhome city council so they will relax and quit messing with crown point !
Wow, Ben Stiller really roughed her up good.
11:13 sometimes they wait two or three times for it to turn green
12:26 you can get up off your ass to vote as many times as you want to, the electorial decides who is president
Man, she doesn't look a day over 85.
Something tells me this little investigation is going to turn up some grandkids as well.
Who besides me remembers granny from Chico that moved to O K and went to the pen for selling dope.Auctually I wanna know where her hot daughter is.
10:18 Her hot daughter lives in Longview and you missed your chance boy, she just remarried 6 months ago
Of all the pot smokers I have known over the years, very few went on to harder drugs. The real gateway drug in my opinion is nicotene. And it was intentionally increased to purposefully addict the users by corporate America with government approval.
Thanks for the update 10:18.
And the radical Christians in this country would have condemned her soul to hell.
So much for God is Love.
Everyone lived high on the hog with Bush-O-nomics. Things were great. Well, maybe regular wage erning families suffered a little, but that is their own fault for not pulling themselves up by their own boot straps, and making more of themselves. All those poor workers have to do is get one of the 1/2 million dollar per year paying jobs, and they will be doing great. That is their fault if they don't find such a job, lazy bastards.
Google before you comment. He most certainly was. "You could trouble me for a warm glass of SHUT THE HELL UP!"
