On April 16, as Betton played his XBOX, multiple armed men, dressed in militarized gear, busted down his door and swarmed his apartment. Upon seeing Betton, they began firing — and firing.

The agents found $970 in Betton’s pants. From his apartment, they seized 222 grams of pot, which is about 8 ounces.

State Law Enforcement Division’s investigation revealed that there was no evidence to support that Bretton ever fired a weapon.

Free to smoke in one state, a reason to be shot in another.
