Makeda Marley, Daughter of Reggae Legend Bob Marley, Pleads Guilty to Marijuana Charges

Makeda Jahnesta Marley, the youngest daughter of the late Bob Marley, pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges that she grew marijuana in her Caln home and had tried to get rid of it as police stood outside the house. Er, is anyone surprised that a Rastafarian is growing marijuana?

According to Daily Local News, Makeda Marley had almost a dozen full marijuana plants and three smaller ones in the basement of her home when police were called there for the report of a dispute almost two years ago to the day of her plea.

She was caught by local police trying to sneak the plants out of the basement while they stood by with a man to whom she had sublet the house, owned by friends of Marley’s, with whom she was arguing.

She pleaded guilty to charges of manufacture of a controlled substance and tampering with physical evidence at a brief hearing in front of Judge Tomas G. Gavin. A formal sentencing hearing will be held in October after the competition of a pre-sentencing report. Source

Well, I really don't know what to say, other than I hope she turns her life around. Still, I am not surprised that she is smoking marijuana, much less growing it in her home.
