November 9, 2022 – A teacher’s assistant is charged with marijuana possession after officers responded to Murrell School (K-7th grade), 322 Cleveland Street, on a student who was being disorderly.
The student had been placed in a teacher’s lounge to calm down. He began throwing faculty members’ belongings in the room that he pulled out of lockers. When he calmed down, a mason jar containing 45.3 grams of marijuana divided into three baggies was discovered in a lunch bag which was later identified through video surveillance as belonging to Jimmy Reed, a 28-year-old teacher’s assistant.
Officers arrested Reed without incident.

We do not use grams as a general method of measuring weight. It is not a mass measurement that most Americans can relatively visualize. Since your audience is assuredly 100% American and since our common form of mass measurements for small amounts is in pounds and ounces you would more effectively communicate the facts of your article, which must be the goal of an effective writer, by doing the conversion from grams to the United States customary units of pounds and ounces. Wilson County residents are intelligent and resourceful enough to figure it out but for most readers, it is just not worth the time to do so.
