Best known for a viral video in which she straddled an oil pumping jack while topless and bottomless, a Texas elected official now faces jail time after smoking a joint on TikTok.
District Attorney Sarah Stogner, 41, could be incarceration after she posted a social media video of herself smoking weed in protest of a state ban on THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.
The Republican made headlines in 2022 when she posted the viral clip of her riding the oil pump jack at the time she was running to be the state’s railroad commissioner.
Stogner, now the DA of Texas’s 143rd judicial district near Pecos, hopes her latest stunt might shame Texas into legalizing weed – especially if she is arrested and made a martyr for the cause.
‘I did this to raise attention,’ she told Newsweek.
‘Its silly that our elected officials want to completely ban THC when that’s not what our constituents want.’
Medical marijuana is legal in Texas, but recreational use of the drug is not.
And in recent weeks, Lone Star State lawmakers passed a bill banning any products containing any ‘detectable amount of any cannabinoid.’
If signed into law, the bill would outlaw the majority of hemp products, including those that are legal under the federal definition in Texas.
