UPDATE: Lincecum cited for marijuana possession
Here is the story from a newspaper in Lincecum's home state. More reporting to come.
UPDATE: I confirmed the details in the Columbian story. Lincecum reportedly had 3.3 grams of pot on him. That's barely more than one-tenth of an ounce.
In Washington state, anything less than 40 grams is considered personal use and a misdemeanor punishable by no more than 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. In reality, he'd likely get a diversion program.
He is not in danger of being punished by major-league baseball, which obviously has gotten tough on steroids but has no rules on drugs of abuse.
The hit to his reputation will be worse than the penalties, although judging from some of your comments, in these parts his standing might have risen. Still, kids, stay in school and don't do drugs.
Neither Lincecum nor his agent has returned my calls.
