PRESCOTT – Saying that the relatively new wording of a provision in Yavapai County plea agreements “bind the court,” a Superior Court judge granted a defendant’s motion to have a provision prohibiting her from using medical marijuana while on probation thrown out.
Jennifer Lee Ferrell, 43, accepted a plea agreement that included charges of attempted aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, and DUI, stemming from an October 2012 arrest.
Under the section “special conditions” was language that has recently become standard in plea agreements offered by the Yavapai County Attorney’s Office: “Defendant shall not buy, grow, possess, consume or use marijuana in any form, whether or not the defendant has a medical marijuana card.”
