ROSEVILLE, Calif., 12:41 p.m. PST March 20, 2001 -- A former gubernatorial
candidate convicted of possessing a small amount of a psychedelic mushroom
said that he would not wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, even if it
means going to jail.
A mistrial was declared last year against Steve Kubby and his wife, who were
charged with growing marijuana for sale. The couple said that they were
growing the pot in their Squaw Valley home because they use the drug to
control chronic ailments.
Kubby went before the Placer County Board of Supervisors Tuesday, saying
that he is innocent of all drug charges against him.
"I stand vindicated of all marijuana charges. I can tell you the convictions
against me for two minor charges, for a mushroom stem and tiny peyote
buttons, will be overturned," Kubby said.
Kubby was sentenced to 120 days of house arrest that would entail wearing
the electronic monitoring device.
