    RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) _ A longtime South Dakota supporter of
legalized marijuana has pleaded guilty to possession of it.
    Bob Newland of Hermosa was in a Rapid City courtroom Monday on
charges the drugs were found in March in his car after a routine
traffic stop for speeding.
    Newland pleaded guilty to possessing more than 2 ounces of
marijuana but less than one-half pound. As part of a plea
agreement, the state agreed to drop a more serious charge of
possession with intent to distribute.
    Newland is scheduled to be sentenced July 6.
