He doesn't look much like a drug dealer, he looks more like a drug addict. Instead of imprisoning him they should take him to some California drug rehab programs S. Lake Tahoe and cure his addiction, considering the amount of drugs he had in the care he could have been intending to use them for himself. I guess the scales and the price list found in his van proves he was a drug dealer indeed, a but he was small one though...
