Woman, 71, Arrested for 'Special' Plant Posted: Aug. 23 4:48 p.m. GREENSBORO, N.C. — A 71-year-old woman was arrested on drug charges after a chest-high marijuana plant was found in her yard, a plant she said was meant to keep animals away from her garden. A sheriff's deputy saw the plant as he drove past Betty Holt Walker's home earlier this month, according to Capt. Tony Caliendo of the Guilford County Sheriff's Department. The deputy stopped to investigate and found five smaller plants behind a shed, as well as marijuana stems and seeds, and a water bong made from a soda bottle inside the house, Caliendo said. Walker told the deputy she found the first plant - which had grown to more than 4 feet tall when he saw it - in her garden and repotted it. She said it was a special plant used to keep animals out of her front yard. "This wasn't something that was meant to keep animals away," Caliendo said. Walker is due in court September 12 to face charges of manufacturing marijuana and felony possession of marijuana. A daughter who lives in the home was unaware the plants were in the yard and was not charged, Caliendo said.
chest high pot plant and five smaller ones and a make-shift water bong and the daughter "knew" nothing.... yea i find that hard to believe.
Man, and all this time Kent and I have been workin overtime trying to keep critters out of our gardens. Who knew? All we needed was a few pot plants. You know, there actually is a plant that helps keep skeeters (there's a Suthun word for ya ) away. It's called Citrosa and it smells like citronella. It kinda looks like a pot plant to me. (Disclaimer: I have never actually seen a real pot plant - just pics) Wonder if granny got confused about her daughters "special" plants??:lol:
Yes, Granny was confused alright, but it was FROM The plants, not about the plants..... hehehehehehe roll one up atta your bag GRANNY!!!
