Mountain Biking - Melissa "Missy" Giove part of huge pot bust - - a Thanksgiving update

I admit I did/do not follow professional mountain biking, but this was in the local paper. I'm sure people here have heard of her.

Damn that's alot of weed.

Gotta pay for those bikes somehow i guess ...lmao

meh...thats just enough for personal use

Its no different than going to Sam's or Costco.

Just wondering, how dumb do you have to be to carry 400 pounds of pot in your truck?

I was gonna ride my bike...then I got high.

Looks like she was going to make a comeback. Everyone knows you can't ride downhill without the chronic.

Supports the theory of mountain bikers being a bunch of pot smoking slackers.

Yell heah!!! One of my all time fav's!


I still think she's alright...even though she made stupid choices.

we always called it smoking "courage" boy,she was brave

I kinda miss the Missile. You need a few of those flamboyant characters to keep a sport lively and not always taking itself so seriously.

Her and Palmer were all the sport talked about back then:thumb:

She's been racing in the East - I've seen her a few times over the past couple seasons. Although her demeanor is pretty chill now compared to what it was during the NORBA/WC glory days. I guess it was the chronic.

It's unfortunate that she got caught breaking the law.

how else would she have hauled it?

Logic would state not all at once.

400lbs? sounds like prices are gonna go up in VA lol

Logic would state not all at once.

you prolly get in just as much trouble for hauling 50lbs as you do for 200, and what they should make a hundred trips? not to mension they would searched her house anyway, well we caught you carrying 5lbs of pot, and found another 395 in your house

she shouldlnt' have takin the truck from someone she didn't know since the DEA dropped it off, isn't that how it works? I don't know you, how do i know your not a cop ect ect. But i guess with all the weed...

It's unfortunate that she got caught breaking the law.True that. Called to mind the Sam Brown incident earlier this year. At least this hasn't ended so tragically.

On the bright side: If Missy does time, she's at least got enough tats going in that she could be her own gang. Everybody should steer clear and give her her space :).

First link I've seen today that mentions there was a setup by an informant. Figures, if this guy was in charge:

"Drug trafficking can lead you downhill fast," DEA Special Agent in Charge John P. Gilbride to said in a news release. "From championship mountain biking to street level drug dealing, the only reason people turn to drug trafficking is to make a profit from the sale of illicit narcotics."

Sergeant Standanko lives.

Are you actually trying to rationalize her actions? The point here is that she shouldn't have been trafficking and/or holding any amount of illegal drugs.

it's an academic argument. IF one is to traffic drugs, THEN this is how one should go about doing so.

^^ Or it could be a modern-day story-problem - - y'know, much like the old 'you have a fox, a hen and a bag of corn: how do you get them all across the river with one boat and without any being eaten?'

Requires Mafia involvement.

Great, now Missy's in the mafia. (Your sarcasm meter's still pinned right?)

If ya want something done right, ya gotta do it yourself, eh?

But that Judge is going to be a lot easier with 50 compared to 400 pounds. But I didnt think about the fact that your house is going to be searched either way.

should have stored it in a secret underground facility that used to be used by the government and is now disguised as a farm, but it would prolly get blown up in the end

I know the answer to this one! Make a stew out of all three and save it for later.

An update that came in just before the holiday: Missy was finally sentenced and managed to avoid going to prison. Six months of house detention and five years of probation.

We'd all like to thank Gastro for stepping up in her defense at the last moment to say he accidently loaded his harvest on the wrong truck and did not mean for Missy to be driving that load.

Stinking Cannucks gonna be the down fall of America! And to think she got her start with Norco.

I find these comments inaccurate!

I ride Mountain bike, I'm a Slacker! I don't need no stinkin weed!

All I wanna know is, 'what's going on with that dood's hand...and why is Missy sporting such a big grin?'

that aint nothin. Drive around my town mid october and you can see literal pot trees pokin over a lot of fences. Im talkin plants 20ft tall and 10-15ft diameter no exaggeration. Good ol norcal.

It all makes sense now!

"Missy was finally sentenced and managed to avoid going to prison. Six months of house detention and five years of probation."

Damn, I should have had her attorney :innocent:

So, how many years did you have to spend in prison?

Snitching.. I don't care how much money you have, if you get caught with that much pot you WILL be doing some time unless you roll over on someone.

Correct. Not only that, but the snitching has to bear fruit.
