Prosecutor in Norman: Cost of prosecuting glass pipe case "worth it"

NORMAN — Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn said his office has spent just $114.24 to prosecute drug paraphernalia cases stemming from a store that sold glass pipes.

The Friendly Market in Norman closed its doors after two police raids on the store in 2015.

Mashburn's office revealed the sum in response to an open records request from the American Civil Liberties Union.

The ACLU has been critical of Mashburn's prosecution of four Norman men known as The Friendly Market Four on drug paraphernalia charges. Mashburn said the cost of prosecuting the case is "totally worth it."
