Anti-Drug Advocate Busted with Grow House, Gun, Doobies
Hey, kids. Today’s public service announcement originates from the fine state of West Virginia, and it goes like this: If you’re growing 100s of plants in your house, don’t drive around with joints, a .25 mm pistol and cracked tail light. Moreover, it may be best to avoid appearing in workplace anti-drug advertising on television. From reports:
A labor organization’s voice for a drug-free work force found himself behind bars this week charged with cultivating a massive marijuana grow ... Searls admitted to having the marijuana grow in his attic, which Huntington Police Sgt. Darrell Booth called a “marijuana factory.” It included more than 100 plants and sophisticated tools needed to grow the crop indoors. ... Searls appears in commercials as a hard-hat-wearing worker for the Affiliated Construction Trades Foundation [saying] ’”Nobody wants to work next to anybody whose judgment is impaired by drugs or alcohol,” Searls says in the commercial. “We don’t just talk a drug-free work force. We do something about it. The union work force is a drug-free work force.’
Indeed! [Huntington Herald-Dispatch]
