NEWS: Woman with medical marijuana pleads guilty in Idaho

REXBURG, Idaho—A Humboldt County woman with a prescription for medical marijuana will serve time after pleading guilty in Idaho to one count of drug possession and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Thirty-five-year-old Aurora Hathor-Rainmenti of Garberville pleaded guilty last week in 7th District Court and was sentenced to five days in jail with 115 additional days at the discretion of the court, and fined $800.

Idaho authorities say a civil forfeiture is in progress on the borrowed vehicle Hathor-Rainmenti was driving when she was pulled over in eastern Idaho for what police say was speeding.

Police also confiscated $514 in cash she was carrying when she was arrested last week in eastern Idaho.

Fremont County Prosecutor Joette Lookabaugh says Idaho doesn't honor medical marijuana certificates from California and other states.
