A man sentenced in Ventura County Superior Court for possession of marijuana for sale in 1994 was among 91 people pardoned by Gov. Jerry Brown on Christmas Eve.
William Aaron Zigler served four years and seven months' probation following his conviction, the governor's office said Thursday. He was discharged in December 1998 after completing probation.
Since then, Zigler "has lived an honest and upright life, exhibited good moral character and conducted himself as a law-abiding citizen," the governor's office said in his pardon.
To be eligible for a pardon, criminals must have been out of prison for at least 10 years and not committed any new crimes, according to state officials.
Actor Robert Downey Jr., imprisoned in the 1990s on drug convictions, was also pardoned by Brown on Thursday.
