Man calls cops to report home invasion, is arrested on pot-growing charges


December 31, 2012|By Susan Jacobson, Orlando Sentinel

A Flagler County man who reported a home invasion was arrested Monday when deputies found more than 100 marijuana plants growing at his house, they said.

Shane Lawrence, 54, was arrested about 4 a.m. on charges of cultivating marijuana, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Lawrence told deputies that two men had broken into his home on Fleming Court in Palm Coast and tried to rob him, the Sheriff's Office said.

Fleming gave deputies permission to search inside, they said. That's when investigators said they found a spare bedroom and a bathroom set up as grow rooms with lights and pot-growing chemicals.

Deputies confiscated 110 marijuana plants. They could have produced 55 pounds with a street value of $44,000, investigators said.

[B]They could have produced 55 pounds with a street value of $44,000

55lbs. X 16oz = 880oz / $44,000 fed notes = 50.00 per ounce. I don't not buy nor use marijuana but I know what the word on the street is and 50.00 per ounce is what is called - ditch weed or basically the bottom of the barrel. Only the poorest of smokers buy stuff like this (so I hear). I believe the stuff called kush and their are variants of it is what is most desired and it costs upwards of hundreds of dollars per ounce. 700.00 in some cases.

It seems highly unlikely a home grower would grow "ditch weed" as there's no point, when the same time and energy could be spent growing something that would cost many times the value.
