With Richards, he's likely facing stronger charges than Stoll and therefore his ability to cross the border could be an issue.

Stoll was caught with an 8 ball of coke and over 8 grams of MDMA in gel caps form, which would probably be about 30ish caps since the recorded weight included the caps. He was originally charged with a felony.

He plead guilty to those as misdemeanours because he got a wickedly good Vegas lawyer who was able to reduce it from a felony. That sounds like more then ''a couple pills in a bottle'' that Sureloss quoted. Maybe it's because of the State he was arrested in, I have no idea how it works in the USA. But seems to me Stoll got off much lighter even though he had much more in his possession.
