Instead of storing the pot in the department’s evidence locker, Avila stored it in the trunk of his car and home, and failed to file a police report about the seizure

He shouldn't be charged for having marijuana in his home. Nobody should.
Stealing marijuana? That's a different story.

The incident happened on November 25, 2013, when Avila picked up a box containing the marijuana from a UPS store. He radioed a dispatcher to say he would file an incident report, but that never happened and the marijuana never found its way into the department evidence locker, a violation of police policy.

He should when normal people are thrown in prison for multiple years and have their lives ruined simply for having a personal-use amount, which is a fraction of the amount that this guy stole.
