Med-marijuana home robbery in Parkland


PARKLAND, Wash. (AP) - Three armed men wearing masks kicked down a door to break into a house in Parkland where a couple grow medical marijuana.

Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer says the men were looking for money and a safe, but when they didn't find anything they left, helping themselves to some of the marijuana.

The News Tribune reports the Thursday morning robbery was the third home invasion this week in Pierce County. The other two were in Tacoma Monday and Wednesday.

Deputies took about three dozen plants from the Parkland home, leaving all but 15 considered the maximum number for medical.

Wow I hope not. There was a bust near here yesterday, the guy had 26 plants and I wondered too if it was possibly someone I know on this site. But the odds are tremendous so hopefully I'm wrong.

I'm almost positive, but still not totally certain. But, they were on just the other day talking about their breeding. I hate to say it, but it sounds like cops to me. On the day of the hearing??? all these strange coincidences. :D

After the two groups fired 50 to 100 rounds at each other, one man was dead and two were wounded. Five people ended up in jail, and another three were on the run.

7-foot marijuana plants found in Kennewick backyard bust

7-foot marijuana plants found in Kennewick backyard bust

KENNEWICK -- An anonymous tip led Kennewick police detectives to a "significant" marijuana growing operation Thursday in the backyard of a Kennewick home.

About 30 plants and at least 16 pounds of processed marijuana were found when investigators searched the home at 1217 W. Second Ave.

Value of the processed pot is estimated at about $2,500 a pound, or $40,000, said Detective Rick Runge.

Three armed men wearing masks broke into a Parkland house early Thursday and held up a man and woman who lived in the house and operated a medical marijuana grow operation.

The two were not hurt, Pierce County sheriffâ??s spokesman Ed Troyer said.

The robbery was the third home invasion reported this week in Pierce County. The other two were in Tacoma and occurred Monday night and early Wednesday. Authorities said they were unsure whether the robberies were connected.

In Thursdayâ??s incident, three men wearing bandannas over their faces kicked in the front door of the house in the 1400 block of Violet Meadows Street South about 12:50 a.m., Troyer said.

The three were looking for money and a safe but didnâ??t find any, he said. They left after they trimmed and clipped buds off some of the 51 marijuana plants growing inside the residence.

The trio was described as two black men and one white man, all about 25 and between 5 foot 8 and 6 feet.

Deputies were called and the growers â?? a 32-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman â?? showed them their authorization to grow marijuana for medical use, Troyer said.

The deputies confiscated all but 15 of the 51 pot plants. The state Department of Health allows growers to have up to 15 plants and 24 ounces of dried marijuana at one time for medical use.

Getting pretty ugly out there. People should be careful about how they handle these issues. Its either just let the thugs have the product and leave or its an armed response. If its the armed response be sure to know the laws of Washington states right to use deadly force. If you don't you may be in more trouble than just letting them have the product.

:( Why can't others just let people grow their plants and enjoy their results? Why do thugs have to bust in and take what they want or use deadly force if they don't get it? The world is a truly f^&%*& up place. The criminals who do these things will pay for it in the end ... and it won't be worth the temporary fix they seek.

Word! :cool:

PS: Did you ever notice when you log in there are maybe 50 members and 1000+ guests? I'd bet most of those "guests" are law enforcement and/or criminals looking to bust/steal your hard work.

I live close to the home invasion.

Believe me when I tell you this....if it were at my house, this would have been BIG news. I dont take to people coming into my house univited too well. Without a search warrant, if you enter my home without permission, my thoughts are you have bad intentions instore for me and my loved ones, so you will be met with equal intentions and force.
This is no way a threat, just a promise to protect myself and my loved ones.
In most cases I would agree with you to give them your product. But now a days, seems people want to kill or harm you and product isnt enough for them. How would you know their intentions?
Simple rule....if you are trespassing on property that is clearly posted, get off the property unless you do not fear being shot.
If you are on my posted property and I think I see a weapon in your hand pointing at me in the dark, I would gladly do my time for protecting myself or my family. Jail time has no bearing on decisions when it comes to your own life or one of a loved one.

I agree with lemon. :thumbsup: If your intentions are bad, your done. Period. I would do life to protect my family also. If something happened to them, it would end up being life anyway..might as well make it worth the time.:thumbsup:

[neonzr]

i wonder how common this would be if it were just legalized.....

As common as someone robbing a bank, grocery store, or pharmacy for oxy. Just in a more public way...more people get in harms way when done publicly vs. a private residence. imho

Any thieves found trespassing on any of my properties will be met with quite distinctive sounds of several 12 gauge shotguns being cocked ... if you do not retreat with verbal warnings within 10 seconds then the blasts will ring out and you will look sort of like a piece of swiss cheese when all is said and done. Buckshot covers a larger area than anyone can imagine without having seen it up close and personal. This is not a threat but a "fictional" promise.

Weed for free by stealing it is sincerely not worth losing your life over. GO BUY A BAG :baggy: from someone or grow your own you dang thieves or possibly die trying to get your ride for free.

The laws are fairly simple here in Washington. A verbal threat of violence or a threat with any kind of a weapon will do. Just be careful when the cops show up. You state you were threatened either verbally or with weapons and then you shut up. Do not say another word till you talk to your attorney.
And if I was sitting on a jury where the police battered the door down with out a warrant I would find the home owner innocent of murder if he shot a cop, though I doubt you would live long enough to be in court.
I'm an avid gun owner and hunter and firmly believe that home owners have the right to protect there family and homes against unlawful entry. And no matter what the court system wants to tell you, a cop kicking a door in violates the 4th Amendment. And I'm big on the Bill of Rights. THats why I believe in jury nullification too.
