Thanks Obama!
Stephen Arrington got his pardon.
, good for him. I met him last summer and listened to him give a lengthy presentation about his journey from jail to the extensive third world charity work he does now.
Arrington was the fall guy in the DeLorean cocaine bust. He drove the cocaine from Florida to California and was arrested when he got there. He refused to testify against anyone and was convicted despite DeLorean getting off because of the entrapment actions of the government.
I have a signed copy of his book. The thing should really be optioned into a movie, he's one of those Forrest Gump kind of guys. Navy SEAL, worked for Jacques Cousteaus company as a diver, was a firefighter, etc.
Here is an old article about him:

From my understanding, up to this point, he's one of the first significant drug related pardons ever. The chances of him getting a pardon was an incredible longs shot, but with Obama handing them out to traitors and murders like candy he managed to snag one. I'll have to drop him a note.
