MyspaceThree Santa Barbara men were arrested Thursday on charges of conspiracy to commit robbery. Walter Stanley, 32, Brian Moore, 34, and Colin Hill, 31, were detained after an investigation was conducted by the SBPD’s Narcotics Unit and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives.
The men’s intended target was reportedly a home in Goleta, the residents of which are thought to be involved in the sale of marijuana.
A press release from the police department claims Stanley, Moore, and Hill’s plan was to take marijuana and money from the residents at gunpoint. “Investigation revealed that the three intended to commit a takeover-style robbery with firearms,” said Sgt. Riley Harwood in a media statement Thursday.
Stanley was also taken into custody in July for possession for sale of marijuana, cultivation of marijuana, and being a felon in possession of ammunition. At the time of the arrest at his home on Stanley Drive, authorities confiscated over 80 marijuana plants and five pounds of processed marijuana, allegedly headed to Los Angeles dispensaries.
All three men are now in the Santa Barbara County Jail facing $50,000 in felony arrest warrants as a result of the charges brought against them.

I remember Josh Braun defending Walter Stanley on these blogs when he was arrested, saying he was a nice guy and did not have a gun. In fact several people defended him...
Seems like these crooks got stopped before they could murder someone and some people have pie on their face.
Legalize marijuana NOW so these felons like Stanley don't run amuck any longer. People that condoned Stanley's behavior before hopefully learned a lesson.

No, not really. I still believe in ending this silly prohibition and "Drug War". I am tired of losing my freedoms or rights because the government wants to stop people from putting certain substances in their bodies or in the name of their "War on Terror". The greatest terror is a great country turning into a fascist state.

Legalize but No support for those who abuse and then fall ill or die because of their CHOICE to use, No Law Suits, No Medicare, No 911 responses for OD's, No Pitting in Court for crimes committed while under the influence, Full, Maximum Sentencing Judgement. THis should also be extended to those who imbide in Alcohol!
