‘Cite and release’ in some marijuana cases passed for Dallas

DALLAS (AP) — Dallas County commissioners have approved a “cite and release” program that allows police in Dallas to issue a court summons to those found possessing less than 4 ounces of marijuana instead of taking them to jail. The Dallas Morning News reports commissioners voted 4-1 Tuesday to allow the program. The measure had been passed by the Dallas City Council but required county approval for implementation. Officials say the program will start Dec. 1.
