No search or seizure figure is stated for the 2024 marijuana deal; reporting describes the planned purchase of a half-pound for $430, the amount converted here, not a quantity police seized.
WBAY says five people were charged; WLUK also counts five but reports a fourth suspect sentenced and a fifth, Rosemary Williams, still awaiting a plea hearing, and the case-stage counts here follow that account.
Reporting does not say whether White's credit of 777 days was calculated to his November 2026 sentencing date or reported separately by the court.
The charges the other co-defendants pleaded to, beyond Richardson's first-degree reckless homicide conviction, are not set out in the accounts opened here.
