Marijuana Plants Found Growing Outside Wis. Courthouse

News Edition: 09/10/2004

GREEN BAY, Wis.-- Sheriff's officers had marijuana growing right under their noses - or at least right outside their headquarters - before discovering and removing the illegal weed.
A Green Bay television station, WLUK-TV, reported Tuesday night that it received a tip and alerted the Brown County Sheriff's Department about the greenery in a planter on the south side of the courthouse.

Chief Deputy John Gossage wasn't sure of the plants' identity, but a drug officer confirmed the presence of marijuana.

"Obviously, as a prank, somebody planted this or dropped some seeds into the plants," Gossage said.

The drug officer pulled the six small plants, which were to be destroyed.

"It's a good thing it was brought to our attention because someone may have realized what it was and could've taken it and used it," Gossage said.

Yeah. Think of all the bags of Funions that they've saved from being devoured.

save a funion. kill a pothead.

ok, yeah. This reminds me way too much of "Super Troopers."

never saw it

Mindless humor about a bunch of highway patrol officers, that basically goof off and pull pranks on anyone they pull over and each other. All while trying to keep the govt from shutting down their station due to budget cuts and a drug smuggling ring that's running in their town, that they can't seem to get a handle on. You should check it out, if you're ever in the mood for a cheap laugh.
