Police in Washington may soon find themselves in real trouble if they ignore a judge’s order to return marijuana they seized from a man during a traffic stop.

Municipal Court Judge Jack Emery told Tacoma Police on Thursday to return the drug to Joseph L. Robertson within seven days, or they could be found in contempt.

The judge first ordered police to return the drug on Feb. 28, but they have refused. It was seized in May when an officer pulled over the Tacoma man for speeding. He was cited for driving without a license and misdemeanor marijuana possession.

Prosecutors dismissed the drug charge in December, after state voters decided to legalize small amounts marijuana. Robertson then asked for his pot back, and provided proof of medical marijuana authorization.

The Legislature’s Health and Human Services Committee advanced a measure that would improve access to mental health services for children.

Nebraska lawmakers moved the bill out of committee Thursday.

The bill’s introducer, Sen. Amanda McGill of Lincoln, says lawmakers should debate the bill in the coming weeks.

The bill says doctors should provide optional mental health screenings to children during physicals. The proposal would launch a pilot program with the University of Nebraska Medical Center that would place behavioral health experts in three primary health care facilities around the state.

The measure also would make it easier for behavioral health experts to diagnose and treat patients with behavioral health problems through video chatting. The service would be for patients without a specialist nearby.
