 Arizona seniors had no idea what the flourishing plant they nurtured in their driveway was until a passing deputy told them it was marijuana.
"Agatha! It's the cops!"
"Quick, Ezra! Hide the stash and look stoopid!" |
A Yavapai County sheriff's department said a deputy spotted the blooming 5-foot-tall marijuana plant growing in the driveway of a retirement community near Prescott, midweek.
"Nice plant y'got there, Gramps!"
"We like it. What's it to ya, sonny?" |
"The residents just thought it was a pretty weed and so they decided to nurture it," department spokeswoman Susan Quayle told Reuters by telephone.
| "Hazel, don't forget to pick up some more Miracle Grow for the marahoochie plant!" |
The officer yanked out the plant, which Quayle said was either "self-seeded or could have been dropped by a grandchild visiting the community."
| "Oh, Gawd! Don't look, Agatha!" |
"No citations were issued. The officer just educated them," she said.
