We always talk about the downtown mall as this end-all be-all hotspot of Charlottesville.  At no point do I remember anyone saying it was the go-to place for drugs!  We touched briefly on our cocaine habit, but we couldn’t pinpoint a location for that.  We weren’t quite sure how Sexshuns owner, Reynold George Samuels, FBI raid this past February would turn out, but he recently pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute a controlled substance (marijuana and crack) and copyright infringement (fake DVDs, I swear I am not making this up). The Daily Progress reports:

Authorities have described Samuels as the head of the drug operation, organizing shipments of marijuana from New York that others distributed locally. According to a news release, Samuels admitted in Charlottesville’s federal court on Monday that the conspiracy distributed more than 3,000 kilograms of marijuana and more than 50 grams of crack in the region under his watch. He also said in court that he sold several pirated videos to undercover law enforcement officers last winter, the release noted.

Since Reynold is out of the picture, I think its very important we fill his previous position ASAP.  Check out the job description below:
