What's a 'special drug offender' and why is this story coming out of Colorado if they were popped at a port of entry?

Good questions.

From Colorado Court of Appeals Opinions October 20, 2005:

quote:
Under CRS § 18-18-407(1)(f), a person is a special drug offender if he used, displayed, possessed, or had available a deadly weapon.

Lilpup, Port of Entry refers to truckers' weight stations on the end of freeways in each state. I-70 runs through the heart of Colorado. It has nothing to do with International Frontiers.

jjaba, at your service.

So maybe it's an interstate port of entry rather than an international port of entry.

Thanks, Jjaba.
