Terror Suspect’s Attorney Facing Marijuana Charge

DENVER (AP) – The attorney for a Colorado man suspected of being involved in an alleged terror plot faces a marijuana possession charge in northern Colorado, but he says the drugs in question weren’t his.

Court records show 37-year-old Arthur Folsom was cited in June in Larimer County for possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana, a petty offense.

Folsom spokeswoman Wendy Aiello says he was cited because he was the owner of the boat where the marijuana was found during a safety inspection. Aiello says the marijuana did not belong to Folsom.

Folsom is has a pretrial conference scheduled on Oct. 13.

His client, 24-year-old Najibullah Zazi, faces charges of lying to the government in a matter involving terrorism.
