Jorge Nava Sentenced to Prison After Marijuana Arrest
Early this year, 90 Day Fiance star Jorge Nava was arrested with a massive amount of marijuana.
He makes his money from legal pot, but at the time, he was in Arizona.
Now, he and Anfisa have revealed, he has been sentenced to more than two years behind bars.
In an interview with TMZ, Jorge Nava explains why he made a plea deal rather than fighting for his day in court.
"When I first started," Jorge says. "With the charges against me, I was looking at like 24 years or something like that, some ridiculous number."
Well, it"s not like there"s a reasonable number of years to lose from your life because of a naughty plant, but like one-third of the average lifespan is … evil.
"But luckily my lawyer was able to work out a plea agreement," Jorge says. "I ended up pleading to a Class 4 felony in Arizona."
The plea deal is better than what he had been facing for transporting 300 pounds of pot, but it"s a far cry from probation and a stern warning.
Jorge has been sentenced to two-and-a-half years behind bars. One tenth of the time he might have spent, but still a very long time.
"I feel like it’s really harsh of a penalty for the crime," Jorge tells TMZ. "Just because it’s marijuana-related."
"And," Jorge reminds everyone. "Right now it’s going legal in a lot of states.”
“It’s actually medically legal in Arizona," Jorge points out. "I just feel like going to prison over the same stuff that’s legal is kind of crazy to me."
Weird to think that crossing an imaginary line with one type of plant in your car can ruin your life.
Anfisa posted a video about Jorge"s legal battle. We"ve included the video, but Anfisa wants everyone to know that the video does not tell the whole story.
"Hi guys…" Anfisa wrote after uploading the video.
"I was finishing editing this video after I found the actual outcome," Anfisa reveals. "And I’m shocked by what Jorge got."
This is a woman whose husband is going to prison.
"PS," she adds. "I actually made a mistake in the end. He got 2.5 years."
To rub salt in the wound, Jorge laments that he could have avoided prison time.
"[My lawyer] told me if I didn’t have an priors, I would have probably got probation,” Jorge says.
“I would have been a first-time offender in Arizona," he shares. "But, I had two previous convictions for cultivation of marijuana."
It wasn"t that long ago that marijuana was illegal in California — and the rest of the country.
"Just to set that straight; that’s my criminal record," Jorge makes clear. "I’ve never done anything else. I’ve never even had a DUI."
Judge Billy Sipe clearly did not see things Jorge"s way.
Jorge"s attorney implored the court to consider his client"s "young age" when ruling on his sentence.
Jorge is, last we checked, 26. That"s not old, exactly, but not generally an age where courts choose leniency as they might for a teenager.
Desperate, his attorney even asked the judge to take into account Jorge"s "job in the television industry." Yeah, that did not work, either.
Judge Sipe gave Jorge the maximum sentence behind bars that the deal that he had reached with prosectors would allow.
Many fans don"t particularly like Jorge — or Anfisa, for that matter. But it"s one thing to dislike a man. It"s quite another to want him to lose years off of his life.
But like him, hate him, or feel sorry for him, some fans have to ask: does this mean the end of Jorge and Anfisa on 90 Day Fiance?
It might. Producers may decide that Jorge and Anfisa are old news, and that Jorge"s imprisonment makes involving him in the show too difficult.
But if producers are smart, they"ll recognize that Anfisa and Jorge are polarizing enough for it to be worth the extra effort.
Plenty of shows do interviews with people who are behind bars. 90 Day Fiance doesn"t have to be any different.
That is assuming that Jorge and Anfisa still want to be on camera — and still want to remain a couple. Prison can really change a marriage.

Mother Who Gave Marijuana to Her Baby Arrested, Charged
There are a lot of bad parents in this world who make terrible, terrible choices for their children.
Most of these parents don"t record their terrible behavior and broadcast it to the entire internet. But … some do.
Which is how authorities came to see this video, below, featuring the outrageous sight of a 1-year-old baby smoking marijuana.
Brianna Ashanti Lofton is a twenty year old Raleigh woman, and she was arrested.
Her initial charges were for two counts of felony child abuse, contributing to delinquency, and possession of marijuana.
However, it was later determined that her initial felony charges were in error.
Upon her Lofton"s first court appearance, she was instead charged with a lesser felony.
It"s still a big deal.
And what she allegedly did is still unconscionable.
Police are crediting the public with directing them to this video.
The alleged incidents of this baby, who is now 16 months old, smoking marijuana (though it was initially believed to be a cigarette by some viewers) took place around December or January.
Shocked and outraged viewers who saw the video made it go viral — and many of them reached out to police.
That, authorities say, is how they were able to investigate this horrifying crime.
Lofton is being held at the Wake County Detention Center on $ 100,000 bond. Even if she is released, she is ordered to stay away from her baby.
The baby, who of course has not been named, is in the custody of Wake County Child Protective Services.
There was a time, of course, when parents considered it "normal" to expose their children and even babies to drugs.
We"ve all heard old stories about parents rubbing liquor on a teething baby"s gums, when there are of course much safer numbing agents.
For generations, bad parents have dosed their children with alcohol in order to get them to sleep — a despicable act that is damaging as well as dependency-forming.
Even just a few decades ago, doctors were advising parents to give their young children medications like Benadryl, which can cause drowsiness, for no other reason than to "help" the child to sleep at night.
While marijuana itself is not particularly dangerous, exposing a child or baby"s lungs to smoke can be so dangerous and damaging.
Beyond that, while marijuana is considered safe for adults, a child"s mind and body are still developing, and with very rare exceptions such as epileptic children or pediatric cancer patients, kids just do not need any marijuana in their systems.
And, again, we"re talking about a one-year-old baby.
On Wednesday, the Raleigh Police Department posted their gratitude to the public on Facebook:
"Big thanks to everyone who posted information about the smoking mother and baby. Thanks to your willingness to get involved, the child is now safe and the mother is in police custody."
If convicted, Lofton could face up to 17 years in prison.
This may strike some as odd, as abusive parents often face much shorter sentences for unforgivable acts of violence.
We should note, however, that most parents who willfully endanger and harm their children don"t … film it and then share the video of it on social media.
Here is the video that may keep Lofton behind bars until her baby is an adult.

Jorge Nava: Arrested with a MASSIVE Amount of Marijuana
Just when things are looking up, it all comes crashing down.
90 Day Fiance couple Anfisa Arkhipchenko and Jorge Nava are still together, with Anfisa posting photos of the two of them side-by-side. But that doesn’t mean that everything’s all smiles and roses.
Because Jorge Nava was arrested earlier this month.
TMZ reports that Jorge Nava was arrested for transporting 293 pounds of marijuana.
He was arrested for possession, possession with intent to sell, transporting a controlled substance, and also possessing drug paraphernalia.
Though Jorge lives in California, where medical and recreational marijuana are both legal, there are unfortunately still states where the naughty plant remains illegal and where people’s entire lives can be ruined for possessing it.
Arizona, where Jorge was pulled over at a traffic stop before officers discovered his alleged cargo, is one of them.
Jorge was arrested on February 8th, released after paying $ 25,000 bond, and was formally charged on February 12th in Mohave County court.
(Yes, it’s spelled Mohave, even though the desert is the Mojave. I don’t know what to tell you. Go ask Arizona)
Jorge’s initial bond was set at $ 100,000, but bail and bond don’t always work how people think — unless you skip your court date.
The reality star potentially faces as much as 12.5 years in prison if convicted and given the maximum. That’s enough prison time to totally ruin someone’s life.
Jorge’s life and livelihood could be in jeopardy, and a costly court battle could ruin him.
But he looks just fine in this photo that his wife Anfisa shared recently.
Anfisa and Jorge’s relationship has always been contentious.
Not to mention controversial for viewers.
Anfisa has not been shy about characterizing herself as a gold digger. She wants to be married to a man of means.
And, as we all remember, Jorge wasn’t quite as wealthy as he had led her to believe before she came to the US to marry him.
In fact, he was in debt.
Despite the dishonestly, Anfisa and Jorge tied the knot.
Even after the two of them married, however, they didn’t exactly ride off into the sunset with a happily ever after ending.
90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? viewers saw Anfisa strike Jorge on camera. Arguments about money seemed to define their marriage.
At the tell all special, the couple appeared to be on the verge of divorce.
Jorge accused Anfisa of becoming mean once she’d gotten what she wanted from him — a boob job, paid for by him.
He also tried to imply that Anfisa, a model by trade, was working as some form of sex worker.
Things are so much better between Jorge and Anfisa now. At least, that’s how it appears from the few glimpses that Anfisa gives followers of the two of them.
Some fans can’t help but wonder if the couple being on good terms might have something to do with Jorge allegedly transporting a medium-sized football player’s worth of marijuana.
Jorge has previously been “accused” of growing and selling marijuana by an acquaintance.
Marijuana is legal in California, as we mentioned, but some wonder if he might have transported it — allegedly — to sell in states that still enforce the plant’s senseless prohibition for a higher sale value.
Perhaps, while Anfisa pursues higher education, Jorge is trying to settle his debts and make enough money to make her happy. That’s one fan theory.
Others, however, feel that this is just a way of fans trying to blame Anfisa for Jorge’s poor choices.

Danielle Bregoli: Cited for Marijuana Possession
Danielle Bregoli may have challenged the world to cash her outside if they so dare.
But the controversial young teenager has gotten in trouble with the law for something she recently did inside.
According to TMZ insiders, Bregoli was cited on Wednesday in Boynton Beach, Florida for possession of marijuana.
The troubled future reality star was reportedly hanging out at a friend’s house when said friend pulled out a joint.
Police officers rolled by, witnessed the girls getting high and proceeded to make their move; despite Bregoli claiming she was not partaking in the illegal experience.
Both Danielle and her pal were given citations for their alleged actions.
Neither any of the cops nor Bregoli herself has spoken out about the incident.
Danielle Bregoli, of course, is known as Cash Me Outside Girl (or Cash Me Ousside Girl to some) because she appeared opposite Dr. Phil in September and got into a verbal altercation with members of the audience.
On the program due to her mother’s concern over her disturbing attitude and behavior, Bregoli played her role perfectly.
She got into it with those in the crowd who were taunting her, taking on some kind of hilarious ghetto accent at one point and yelling what has become her viral tagline:
Cash me ousside, howbow dah?!?
Since then, Bregoli has appeared a second time on Dr. Phil, trash talking the host by claiming she (and Oprah) made him famous.
She has become a popular subject for the paparazzi, talking at various times to TMZ cameras and challenging members of the Kardashian family to a fight.
As we could have sadly predicted several weeks ago, Bregoli has also landed her own reality show.
But a closer examination of her life has revealed a seriously effed up relationship with her mother, most notably a video that made the Internet round last month.
Featured below, it depicts Danielle’s mother savagely beating her daughter inside their Florida home.
Check it out for yourself:
Authorities are looking into the incident and it certainly appears as if charges ought to be filed.
Which is not to say that Bregoli thinks her mom did anything wrong in the ugly footage above.
“Me and my mother are not fighting on the floor. We are play fighting,” Bregoli told TMZ when asked about the upsetting clip in mid-March.
She added:
“My ex-best friend took it to a whole other level. It wasn’t what it was at all. We were play fighting on the floor and I hit her too hard and she kind of pushed me on the floor.
“That’s all that happened.
“People need to take their head out of sh-t they shouldn’t have their head in. My mother is not abusive. She doesn’t abuse me. I love my mother.”
Naturally, the proposed reality show on tap will star both Danielle and her mother.
We can’t wait.
Sorry, we mistyped there. What we meant to write was this:
We can totally, completely, absolutely wait.
