VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) -A newspaper says San Francisco Giants ace Tim Lincecum has an agreement with a prosecutor in his home state of Washington that could settle his misdemeanor marijuana charge. The charge stemmed from an Oct. 30 traffic stop in which a Washington State Patrol trooper said the 2008 Cy Young Award winner was doing 74 mph in a 60 mph zone on Interstate 5, a few miles north of Vancouver, Wash. Clark County deputy prosecutor Grant Hansen said Friday that his office is willing to dismiss a misdemeanor charge of possessing 3.3 grams of marijuana. Lincecum would pay a $250 fine for possessing a marijuana pipe. Hansen told The Columbian in Vancouver, Wash., that the agreement - still to be approved by a judge - is standard for first-time marijuana offenders who are cooperative.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.
