Growing Granny Busted for “Reefer”

A Memphis grandmother got busted for “manufacturing marijuana” after police spotted four pot plants in her driveway.

The cops were searching for another suspect in the area when they saw the weed in plain view. An officer asked the 65-year-old woman if she knew what she had growing outside – she responded, “Yes, reefer, I planted it.”

According to reports, the woman had recently been in the hospital but neighbors were unaware if the marijuana was intended for medicinal purposes. She is being held on a $5,000 bond.

Police Seize a Ton of Pot in Boston Apartment

Police found 2,000 pounds of pot in a Boston-area apartment earlier this week. Prosecutors are calling the ton of cannabis “the single largest seizure of marijuana in Boston’s recent memory.”

However, despite the 40 plastic wrapped packages stacked to the ceiling of a third floor apartment, Edgar Gonzalez, the man accused of possessing all the pot, claims he had no idea it was there.

Police originally came to the building to execute an unrelated search warrant. However, when Gonzalez saw the officers, he ran. After being caught, Gonzalez explained to the police that he ran because “he thought they were looking for him.”

This aroused officers’ suspicion and a search warrant for Gonzalez’s apartment was obtained. Inside, cops found the stash with an estimated street value of $4 million.
