Man Calls Cops for Missing Child, They Find Pot Plants Instead

You know, I'd be the last person to tell you how to run your business. Especially if that business is growing pot . . . which I know nothing about. Really.

But, if you're going to set up a massive grow operation in your basement, you may want to think twice before inviting the police over to help find your missing 5-year-old. Especially when the kid is just hiding in a closet. Anyone else thing someone might have been too stoned to actually look for the kid? Just sayin'.

Yeah, that might put a crimp in the availability of pot in Warrensburg, NY for awhile. Here's more from Post Star:

Patrol officers were sent looking for a missing 5-year-old boy at a Warrensburg home Tuesday, and they found not only the child, but 68 marijuana plants growing in the basement, according to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office. Police arrested Joseph F. Weiler, 28, and Kenneth Weiler, 24, both of 4 Orton Drive, in connection with the incident. Joseph Weiler faces misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child and violating the state public health law for growing marijuana.

Kenneth Weiler is charged with misdemeanor counts of unlawful possession of marijuana and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance for having propoxyphene, a narcotic drug he didn’t have a prescription for.

The child was found hiding in a closet.
