Police: Lonoke man arrested for growing marijuana

This is so stupid. These bored as$ cops spent significant time and resources to deal with a guy that was growing a plant in a pot in his own home. I'm sure that while the cops were doing this, a meth head in the apartment next door was on the verge of blowing the whole complex up while cooking up crystal meth.

charlie c; thought you were a Monty Python man there for a minute; loved watching them when I was stoned back in the day - wink, wink, nudge, nudge!

I have the right defense for this man.If any of you have bird feeders you will know that some of the seeds grow from the droppings. If the pot that had the plant in it was out side, any bird flying around Arkansas could be guilty of dropping that seed in that planter. Oh and by the way, ever noticed how much better food taste after burning a good sweet bowl? So I'm told...wink, wink!!!!!

I hope this man knows who is not his friend! I suppose that person feels really proud of themselfs. Karma! So petty! I wonder how many homes and cars were broken into during all that time.

Good posts, especially granny! These Lonoke pigs are just Barney Fife wannabe's, the whole county is known to be the Meth capital of Ark. and they bust a guy growing a little weed and run straight to the media to attempt to impress the public, not happening piggy piggies.

How many known meth labs did the cops drive by to get to this guys house? How many unregistered sex offenders did they see or drive by their houses? How many domestic assaults happened while the entire force of Mayberry PD was doing this "raid"? Have ya'll ever read the headline of a person high on weed running from cops, killing multiple people, raping kids, beating the hell out of someone, etc? Not likely to happen. Only thing a stoner is beating the hell out of is that bag of cheetos.

Bring on the legal marijuana. If you put up with drunk you can put up with potheads. I'm like butch I'll puff a little if I want. I might even change my handle on here to puffnana.

Well, he will go to trial, be found guilty and sent off to prison and occupy a bed that is needed for a more serious crime. The way I see it, he wasn't hurting a soul.

Now that was good jodashe! I especially like the double first names since I made a new "friend" on here today with 2 first names. Keep up the good reporting!

JUST IN-------- Loanoke police have just said "people of this fine community lock your doors hide your kids theres a madman on the loose" This statement was placed after a known pot grower was released on bond @ 8;30pm. Sheriff Billybob joejim says "schools will be in lockdown for the rest of the week and extra patrols will run until this madman is sentenced to prison" Fox16 reporter went to the local wal-mart where citizens where stocking up on food,bullets.cigarettes and booze. In a moment of panic one young mother screamed out loud when she saw a man who looked like the madman. "thank god it wasnt him" Said the young mother of 3. Outside an officer shot a man carrying a bunzi tree. "I thought it was a marijuana plant you never can be to careful you know" Said officer Jimmyjoe. We will give you updates as they come in.
