Man accused of trying to sell pot on courthouse lawn

Grant County deputies arrested a Grand Coulee man for allegedly trying to sell marijuana on a courthouse lawn. About 1:30 p.m. today, sheriff’s deputies learned an adult male was approaching people in front of the Grant County Courthouse in Ephrata, Wash. and asking them if they wanted to buy marijuana, a Grant County Sheriff’s Office news release said. Deputies found 22-year-old Andrew Allen Kramer, who had a “strong odor of marijuana about his person,” standing on the front lawn of the courthouse, the news release said. When deputies detained him, they found 20.5 grams of “portioned and packaged” marijuana in his pockets. Kramer was arrested, cited for possession of marijuana, then released. “This one speaks for itself,” Sheriff Tom Jones said.
