Message from SmokeTalk - Bath salts are the worst things anyone can use! Please report anyone who you know that sells bath salts
A former college student from Wellington was sentenced to two years in federal prison Friday after admitting he conspired to distribute so-called "bath salts" drugs in South Florida.
Undercover agents got a tip and arranged to meet Nathaniel Spencer Jocelyn, 23, in July in a Coconut Creek restaurant, where he agreed to sell them 2,000 capsules of the illegal synthetic drugs, also called "Molly" and usually imported from China, for $11,000.
Jocelyn was arrested after making the sale a few days later in West Palm Beach.
More than 40 people showed up to support Jocelyn at his sentencing hearing in federal court in West Palm Beach on Friday. Several of them spoke emotionally on his behalf and he apologized to the judge and asked for another chance, acknowledging a prior arrest for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
His assistant federal public defender, Lori Barrist, said Jocelyn got caught up in "the high life" hanging out at South Beach clubs frequented by celebritiesm, but that he had learned his lesson after several months in jail. She persuaded Senior U.S. District Judge Kenneth Ryskamp to give him two years in prison, rather than the more than three years he had faced.
