CHICAGO -- Officers on the scene to evict a Chicago man ended up arresting him after finding a room “filled with growing marijuana plants.”
Cook County Sheriff’s police arrived at 4548 S. Prairie Ave. to evict 35-year-old Arkey Washington for mortgage foreclosure, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s department.
When officers entered the brownstone apartment to explain the eviction process to Washington, they “detected a strong odor of marijuana,” the release said.
Aside from finding an unloaded handgun on the floor and “two large containers of marijuana” which appeared to be packaged for street sale, officers found a bedroom containing a “sophisticated marijuana growing operation,” the release said.
The room’s door was covered with black plastic, and had lights, fans, a ventilation system, soil and 24 growing marijuana plants—all about three feet high.
The Sheriff’s police seized all of the drugs and the gun, and estimate the street value of the marijuana to be about $60,000.
Washington had a previous drug-related conviction and is being held pending a bond hearing

This man is an idiot, nut head. Who on earth, in his sane mind, will do this sort of thing that this man does.
If you plant weed keep a proper look out otherwise you will be busted. On the issue of not paying rent I can not say anything, because it makes me angry in considering that he is planting in his house. Well, it only paints a picture of this man, in my opinion, is a complete brainless idiot.

The 2nd amendment doesn't say "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed... except for cannabis consumers."

Growing + selling + not paying rent = arrest.
That is like the first equation you learn in dope school.

It wasnt even a hydroponic system.
If he had so much pot, why didnt he sell it to pay off his foreclosure?
I mean, come on people, its called a CARBON FILTER, jeez.
