1 busted for growing pot on deckTue, 06/27/2006 - 4:01pm
By: Ben Nelms
A Fayette County man was arrested Monday for growing suspected marijuana on the rear deck of his home. The suspected marijuana has a new leaf arrangement recently identified in cultivation. Johnny Brown, 57, of a central Fayette County address, was charged with felony manufacture and cultivation of marijuana, according to Fayette County Sheriff’s Drug Suppression Task Force Commander Mike Pruitt. Task force agents Monday afternoon arrested Brown at his residence after locating four plants growing in pots in the deck, Pruitt said. Two of the plants were approximately five feet in height while the two remaining plants were smaller in size, Pruitt said. A feature of the plants was that some of the leaves differ from traditional marijuana. The plants normally have five-leaf clusters but over the years marijuana has naturally mutated so that some plants have one, three or five leaves, Pruitt said. The potency of the plant has not changed regardless the number of leaves, he said. Clarification: A Fayette County man arrested Monday for cultivating and manufacturing marijuana, 57 year-old Johnny Brown, was listed as residing at a central Fayette address. The address where Brown resides is 115 Kari Glen Way. We apologize for any confusion that resulted over not including the specific address. login to post comments
