Grimy Times Exclusive: A Boise man has been sentenced to a year of probation for unlawful possession of a highly controlled substance.
Davis Jacobs, 27, of Boise, Idaho, was handed a one-year probation sentence, including six months of home detention, 200 hours of community service, and a $1,000 fine, for unlawful possession of Gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL), Acting United States Attorney Rafael Gonzalez announced on March 28, 2017.
Jacobs was charged in an information with the crime, and as part of his plea agreement, he admitted to purchasing the GBL, knowing it was illegal and a controlled substance.
According to court documents, United States Customs and Border Protection in San Francisco, California, intercepted a parcel from Hong Kong addressed to Jacobs in Boise, Idaho. The parcel, declared as "paint tools," contained a bottle of 1,218 gross grams of liquid GBL.
GBL is a Schedule I controlled substance, which carries severe penalties for those found in possession of it.
The case was investigated by the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with assistance from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
Jacobs’ sentence is a stark reminder of the consequences of purchasing and possessing highly controlled substances.
