Disabled veteran imprisoned in Alabama for medical marijuana possession released

Sean Worsley is free.

After serving almost 10 months in Alabama jails for felony possession of medical marijuana legally prescribed in his home state of Arizona, the disabled Iraqi War veteran and Purple Heart recipient walked out of the Draper Correctional Facility Monday morning.

Waiting was wife Eboni, who had not seen Sean since January. “Oh, my gosh, I had butterflies,” she said of seeing him emerge from the prison’s gates. “I was trying not to cry. My knees got weak. I was jittery and so happy.”

Last month, the 34-year-old who was arrested while driving through in Pickens County in 2016, was granted parole by the Alabama Board of Pardons and Parole.
