I wonder if he's learned his lesson. After all, the man who prosecuted him
for
pot possession said, "It's another example of a career wasted over
extremely poor judgment. It boggles the mind."

Poor Judgment Mikey. Hey, that's got a certain ring to it!
That, or "One-hit-then-brush-it-off-the-table-to-conceal-the-evidence
Mikey. It's really kind of funny - in sort of the same way Cheech
and Chong was funny. Until you realized he threw away a
college Profeesorship -- all for pot. Now wonder he posts such
bitter invective - he's a bitter man!

Just so Doobie Mike doesn't accuse me of being a liar, here's the story:

Bryant pleads guilty

by Tanna Barry | editor in chief
November 28, 2001

Former Weber State University professor and debate coach Michael Bryant
pleaded guilty Tuesday to two of the three class B misdemeanors that he was
charged with in Iron County.
In exchange for Bryant's guilty plea, the prosecution dropped one of three
charges. A $550 fine was imposed as punishment for the remaining charges,
according to minutes of the plea hearing at the 5th District Court.

Iron County prosecutor Scott Burns said this is the standard punishment for
someone who is charged with class B misdemeanors and has no prior drug
convictions.

"This was wholly appropriate," he said. "I think justice was served."

Bryant, 43, resigned from his positions at WSU after news of the three
charges spread. The charges of possession of marijuana, possession of drug
paraphernalia and interfering with arrest stem from a drug incident on Oct.
6 while the debate team was competing in a tournament in Cedar City.

The initial charge of interfering with arrest was changed to obstruction of
justice, also a class B misdemeanor, and was dropped in exchange for his
guilty plea.

Bryant had no comment after the court made its ruling Tuesday afternoon. He
told the newspaper previously that he didn't know if he would accept the
plea agreement.

Since that time, Burns said he was approached by Bryant and Barnes about
creating an alternate plea agreement that would further lessen the charges
in exchange for other information. In previous stories, Bryant has said that
he was "taking the fall" for other people.

However, Burns told The Signpost Tuesday that he wasn't interested in the
information they were going to provide because it wouldn't lead to the
charges of other individuals.

"He received no more or no less than anyone else would have in this type of
case," Burns said.

Bryant has said that what's happened has given him the chance to move on
with his life. He had worked at WSU for 14 years and said he was growing
more and more unhappy with his job.

He is working at a different job and trying to save enough money to move
closer to his family in Kentucky.

Burns said, "It's another example of a career wasted over extremely poor
judgment. It boggles the mind."


Yes, indeed, Pot Lovin' Mikey boggles the mind.
Hey - he was even going to "rat" on his co - criminals!

Funny........
