Kor37 9 Posted August 21, 2008 Police: Man says he grew pot in a cost-saving move AP TYLER, Texas -A Tyler man accused of growing marijuana in an alleged cost-saving move is jailed on felony possession charges. Bond is $15,000 for 55-year-old John Daniel Miller III, who remained in the Smith County Jail late Tuesday. Sheriff's Sgt. Randal Hiller declined to release information on Miller, including whether he has an attorney following Monday's arrest. Sheriff's Sgt. Randy Meadows told the Tyler Morning-Telegraph that a tip led officers to some rural property, where several marijuana plants — encircled by old tires — lined the driveway. Deputies confiscated more than 70 plants worth about $100,000. Meadows said Miller told deputies he knew they were coming "sooner or later" and he was cultivating his own marijuana because the cost of buying the illegal substance had gone up. Sheesh.......this downturn in the economy is affecting everything!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eratosthenes 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Seems like a logical move on his part to me. He should have kept them in the BACKyard enclosed by a fence though. Silly man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theunicornhunter 2 Posted August 22, 2008 When I read the headlines I thought he was growing to sell because he needed money. Doesn't he have a national forest nearby? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
