80-Year-Old Arrested for Dealing Crack

(Grand Rapids, Michigan) Gray-bearded Curtis Beeks, Sr., slowly shuffled his way to the judge in Grand Rapids District Court for arraignment on felony charges of delivering crack cocaine and maintaining a drug house. Wrinkled, stiff-jointed Beeks is 80-years-old and, if convicted, faces a possible 20 years in prison.

Mandatory minimum sentencing requirements would probably not apply to the Beeks case, but it sure is an example where judges would like some wiggle room.
