KomoNews.com reported that the most serious charge against WWE's Liv Morgan, possession of drugs, possibly synthetic cannabinoid, was dropped because the State of Florida had no way of proving its case.
An Assistant State Attorney in Sumter County told KOMONews, “In order to prove the charge possession of THC, the State is required to prove that the THC came from synthetic sources and was not derived from plant sources. No labs in the State of Florida perform such tests, so we remanded it to county court as Possession of Cannabis.”
Morgan's attorney Jack A. Goldberge
told The Messenger, "We are extremely pleased that the State Attorney's office made the correct decision to not purse felony charges against Gionna."
Morgan's remaining charge, possession of marijuana (not more than 20 grams) was transferred to the County's Misdeameanor Court Division. Her scheduled arraignment on Monday 2/12 at the Sumter County Courthouse has been canceled. Instead, there will be a status conference related to her remaining charge on 2/20.
The charge of possession of marijuana (not more than 20 grams) is a first degree misdemeanor in Florida. It can be punishable up to one year in jail or on probation, along with a $1,000 fine. Conviction of possession also results in a six month driving license suspension, random drug testing, and all the reimbursement of all fees related to the sentence.
As PWInsider.com previously reported, there was no heat on Morgan from WWE management in the wake of the arrest.
