Dont take pictures of you plant on your cell

NEWPORT, Vt. - A cell phone containing photographs of marijuana plants fell into the hands of police, who found their way to its owner and his growing operation, authorities said.

Peter Ste. Marie, 22, was charged with felony marijuana cultivation after admitting to growing about 20 plants for his use, Orleans County Deputy Sheriff Daniel Locke wrote in an affidavit.

An unidentified person found the phone and looked for pictures on it that might lead to the owner. When the person saw the marijuana plants pictured, the phone was turned over to the Sheriff's Department on Aug. 13. When police activated the phone, it showed the owner's name and the name of his business, Locke said.

The finder also told police there were pot plants growing off Stevens Mills Road, in Jay, near where the phone was found, according to Locke, who found about 30 plants growing on land owned by Ste. Marie's grandmother.

Ste. Marie, who told authorities his grandmother didn't know about the marijuana plants, pleaded not guilty to the cultivation charge Tuesday and was released on $100 bail.

There's a lesson to be learned in the case, Locke said Thursday.

"I don't think I'd be taking pictures of illegal things on my cell phone," he said.

Second story tonight on people gettin busted. Who ever turned them in is a real asshole. Why would someone do something like that? I would be so pissed if someone done that to me.

We have a TYS movement here, but by early August a lot of them are gone- people go and pull up the males, so it's all good

My sister took a pic of my ounce on her phone without my knowing, and her teacher confiscated her cell during classes (it was a teacher I had before), and she emailed me asking if it was any good LOL...

I don't think the moral is "Don't take pictures of illegal things on your phone", It should be don't be so careless with items of importance.

It's like when silly morons comment on the English accent - we dont find that funny in the slightest - infact, it infruiates us, and if anyone did it in the street they wouldnt be standing for much longer.
