Jason Spyres was 19 years old when he was arrested for cannabis possession. Less than a year later, he was arrested again and charged with cannabis trafficking in Macon County after police intercepted a UPS package his mother shipped to him with 38 pounds of marijuana. While out on bond, he received a second trafficking charge. Although he had no prior record, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Spyres was put on work release in 2016 after 14 years of being locked up, including a failed bid for clemency.
