Ex-con elected D.A. in California's 'pot' country

UKIAH, Calif. (Reuters) - An ex-convict has been elected the District Attorney of northern
California's Mendocino County, becoming the top law enforcement official in a region famous for its
hefty marijuana crop.

Norman Vroman, a lawyer who served nine months in federal prison for failing to pay income taxes
and twice filed for bankruptcy, defeated 12-year incumbent Susan Massini by 52 to 48 percent of
the vote.

''I'm very gratified in the trust and confidence that the voters of Mendocino County have given me,''
Vroman told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, which reported his victory Wednesday.

Vroman, who campaigned as a pro-marijuana ''tax rebel,'' urged voters to overlook both his prison
record and financial woes. He pledged in return ''not to betray them or violate their trust.''

Mendocino County, a largely rural area about 100 miles north of San Francisco known as a haven
for free-thinkers and cannabis farmers, also got a new, pro-marijuana sheriff Tuesday when Lt. Tony
Craver beat Lt. Phil Pintane, the Press Democrat reported.

Craver campaigned with Vroman, and both men support the decriminalization of marijuana.
