"Experienced gardener" put behind bars after a startling discovery


KHQ-TV

USA - The Sheriff's department is calling him "an experienced gardener," but what he was growing has landed the Riverside, Washington man behind bars.

The Sheriff's department arrested 45-year-old James Tefft on Thursday for growing marijuana in his backyard. He was growing the plants in pairs, underneath towering trees on his property, in hopes they wouldn't be seen from up above.

To his surprise, his operation eventually got sniffed out. Sheriff's investigators hauled away 32 plants ranging from two to seven feet tall. A Fish and Game agent made the discovery several weeks ago when he was tracking an injured deer on Tefft's property.

That led to the investigation and to Thursday's bust. Dave Reagan, from the Sheriff's department said, "Drug guys say he's grown them before.somebody that knows horticultures."

Investigators say Tefft watered his plants using PVC piping that ran from his mobile home throughout his backyard. Detectives were hoping to execute a second-degree search warrant later in the evening to check inside his home for more marijuana.

i hear ya, around here u cant go week w/o readin in tha paper about one or 2 busts. 2 people actualy got away one time though. all they had to do was shoot at tha cops, have one of their grow buddies shot down an run to live in tha hills. what tha hell iz thiz world coming to when giving life(because growing anything iz giving life) iz as bad an offense as murder.

Yip, it really sucks...I live in South Africa and here the police are just as bad...big busts are on the news at least once a month, but in the mean time the hijacking, murdering statistics just keep rising...It really blows, but I've decided that i will never leave this country cos then they'd won...

I think we seriously need some activisism in this country. If anyone has some please post some info on movemets, etc. hapning in South Africa...

Yea that was the top headline news this morning...below that(meaning less important I would guess?) were a "flop house" bust, a prostitution sting downtown and then they had the articles about the 2 drive-bys(no one hurt thank god) and the armed robbery. They haven't even caught these guys yet. Since when is reporting a pot bust more important than reporting 2 drive-bys, which you almost never hear about anyways coz they don't happen but once in a blue moon in Spokane? You'd think that these stories would be their main objective because its so rare. It's not like this guy was a raving lunatic with a gun that was all cracked out...he was just a normal guy tending his garden...that happened to be weed. Go figure.

i saw some shit in the paper today about mailing weed, someone got busted for mailing weed, it was front page news, nevermind the rapers, killers and sadistic mothas, but they bust a couple innocent guys cuz they smoke weed

You would have thought they would have figured out by now It takes more than calling something an "epidemic", "Declaring war on it", and passing stricter laws on it, and creating "specal taskforce", When the world could take Amsterdam's example, by suporting their drug culture, they have some of the lowest violent crimes, granted they are a smaller nation, but just think if everyone smoked out in the U.S. how much crime would drop. Well except for those M.F. bong thiefs running around ruining someones Buzz!
