Pitcher Tim Lincecum Settles Marijuana Case in Washington

[Weedpipe]

WA. - Giants Cy Young pitcher Tim Lincecum had two charges of the use of drug paraphernalia and possessing marijuana reduced to a civil infraction in Clark County District Court in Vancouver, Wash.

The charges against Lincecum, who came to court dressed in a dark grey suit, according to the Columbian newspaper, stem from a traffic stop on Interstate 5 on Oct. 30 in which it is alleged that marijuana and paraphenelia were found. Lincecum was reportedly on his way to the Seattle area, his hometown, when he was stopped at mid-morning on Interstate 5.

The civil infraction requires Lincecum to pay $513.

As part of an agreement with prosecutors, Lincecum's two charges of the use of drug paraphernalia and possessing marijuana were reduced to a civil infraction.

"I'll try not to let this happen again, move forward and continue with my life," Lincecum told the Columbian.

The baseball world is also anticipating today's release of arbitration numbers for Lincecum, the repeat National League Cy Young winner.

He's lucky that Washington's Mj laws are pretty lenient. Less than 40 grams is a minor misdemeanor with usually just a $500 fine and no jail time.

Giants offered $8 million. Lincecum asking for $13 million. Hope the fine won't hurt him too bad!!!
