BOSTON, M.A. -- A Holyoke Massachusetts man sets the precedent of a new Bay State law. Jose Burgos received a $100 fine when Springfield Police found less than a half gram of marijuana on him Friday.

The new law that went into effect that day, calls for a $100 fine to people caught with less than an ounce of marijuana, rather than criminal penalties.

Police also found 119 crack cocaine rocks and 45 bags of heroin in Burgos's car. He faces a drug trafficking charge that could land him in prison for seven-years.
