Sheriff’s Report: Girl Reports Dad’s Marijuana Plants

MANATEE — A Palmetto man has been arrested on a charge of growing marijuana after his daughter reported his operation to a school resource officer, according to a Manatee County Sheriff’s Office report.
The Palmetto High School student told a Palmetto Police officer at the school her father was growing pot in their home in the 6100 block of 63rd Avenue East, according to Palmetto Police Lt. Scott Tyler.
Palmetto Police then turned the tip over to sheriff’s deputies because the girl’s house lies in the county, Tyler said.
Based on the tip, deputies early Wednesday went to the home of Patrick C. Allerton, 63, to conduct a welfare check on the girl and saw a bright light and blue tarp through an open window, with an odor of marijuana wafting out.
Allerton at first would not let deputies in the house, but he sent his daughter out to investigators. Sheriff’s child protection officials placed Allerton’s daughter in the custody of a family friend, the sheriff’s report said.
Threatened with a search warrant, Allerton agreed to allow deputies to search his home. They found eight marijuana plants and seven grams of pot in a dresser. Deputies also found more than $3,600 cash in the dresser along with drug paraphernalia, the sheriff’s report said.
Allerton said he grew the marijuana for personal use and never had any intent of selling it, according to the sheriff’s report.
Deputies arrested Allerton on charges of felony manufacture of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana. He was being held in the Manatee County jail Thursday on $10,500 bond.
Students are often encouraged to report drug activity and other crimes to their school resource officers, Tyler said.
“I would like to think drug education that begins early in school has created an environment where students feel comfortable reporting what they see,” Tyler said.

But... we don't know the back story.
The only way this would be justified is if he was abusing his daughter (and no, i don't mean by growing weed in the same house as her... that's not child abuse by any stretch of the imagination).
But they didn't say ANYTHING about that. The only "hint" we get about the whole incident, is that she was likely "encouraged" to "report drugs in the home" to her school officials. That's facked ap. If that's the case, i hope she gets herpes, and i hope the one who coaxed it out of her gets paralyzed or mutilated in a horrific accident. These people are horrible, and they're doing this on purpose, even if it may not have been the cause of this particular incident.
If she did it out of pure teenage spite, i hope it comes back to her in a similar way somehow.

Maybe the guy was the rottenest son of bitch that ever lived and deserved what he got .
maybe the child was just spoiled and couldn't get her way while Pops was around .
The point being , nobody knows , so to take one side or the other in something you know nothing about renders ANY opinion on the matter as moot .
Don't gt me wrong . I know what your're talking about and agree , BUT , there just isn't enough info here to form any opinion other than "thats a bummer " .

National Action Alert:
Your Chance to Impact the US Attorney General Confirmation!
Dear ASA Supporter,
It's here - your first opportunity to be a real part of changing medical cannabis policy. If you ever wanted to take action that could make a difference, now's your chance!
On January 15th, Senate Judiciary Committee will begin confirmation hearings for President-elect's nominee for US Attorney General, Eric H. Holder. Obama pledged to end DEA raids on individuals who use or provide medical cannabis in accordance with their state law. The U.S. Attorney General is the cabinet official who can carry out this stance.
Now is the time to act! We need you to help make sure the first discussions with Obama's Attorney General include questions on medical cannabis.
It just takes two short but critical phone calls to Judiciary Chairman Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) (202) 224-7703, and ranking Republican Member Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) (202) 224-5225). Call both offices and say:
"Hi, my name is ___________ and I am calling about the Attorney General confirmation hearings. President-elect Obama said numerous times during his campaign that DEA raids on individuals legally qualified to use medical cannabis in their states are a waste of resources and that he would end that policy. 72 million Americans live in the 13 states with medical cannabis laws. Please ask Eric Holder if he will uphold Obama's promise and end DEA raids on legal medical cannabis patients."
Because the federal government has refused to act, states have taken the lead in protecting patients who use medical cannabis. However, for 8 years the Bush Administration, the US Department of Jusice (DOJ), and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) have aggressively targeted, raided, arrested, and prosecuted individuals who comply with state medical cannabis laws. In court, defendants are not allowed to present this as evidence for their defense, or even to mention that such state laws exist. As a result, many innocent people are serving time in federal prisons, and many more are waiting for their sentence.
We demand change NOW. Stand up for them by joining our effort!
Once you've made the call, send a letter to increase the pressure even more!
Change will not be handed to us. If we want it we have to demand it, and now is the best opportunity this country has ever had. Thank you for being a part of it.
Sincerely,
George Pappas
Field Coordinator
Americans for Safe Access
Dont like what ya see? Do something to change it!
Ya know, the change thing. Forget already, Obama-ites?

A pot poem by Dana Larsen
Please share and distribute freely
GREEN BUDS AND HASH
Would you like green buds and hash?
- No I would not, Mister Stash!
Would you like them in a bong?
Would you like them all day long?
- No I would not in a bong!
- No I would not all day long!
- I do not like green buds and hash.
- I do not want them Mister Stash!
Would you like them wrapped in paper?
Will you try them now or later?
- I do not want them wrapped in paper.
- I don't want them now or later.
- I don't want them in a bong,
- I do not want them all day long.
- I do not like green buds and hash,
- I do not want them Mister Stash!
Would you like them in a joint?
- No I would not, what's the point?
Perhaps you would prefer a puff?
Just have one, that is enough.
- I won't partake, not of a puff,
- Nor a hoot, nor hit, nor huff!
Would you try a tiny toke?
- No I don't want any smoke!
What if they were vaporized?
- I've told you no a thousand times!
Would you, could you, in a cake?
Or in cookies I can bake?
- I do not want them in a cake,
- Or in cookies you could bake.
- I do not want them vaporized,
- Or other means you have devised.
- I do not wish to try a toke,
- Or otherwise inhale smoke.
- I won't participate in puffs,
- You have asked me quite enough!
- I get no joy from juicy joints,
- I really do not see the point.
- I do not want to use the bong,
- I think that buds and hash are wrong.
In a tincture would you take it?
I could show you how to make it.
- I do not want them in a tincture
- Or in any other mixture!
- I do not want green buds and hash,
- I do not want them Mister Stash!
- Why do you care if I try them?
- Will you profit if I buy them?
I offer buds and hash for free,
There is no benefit to me.
Someone said that that you were sick,
green buds and hash might do the trick.
If you find you're getting thinner,
With no appetite for dinner,
Or you suffer from sclerosis,
Epilepsy or neuroses,
For almost all the ills that ail ya,
buds and hash will never fail ya.
Have glaucoma? PMS?
Green buds and hash have much success.
For protection against strokes,
Its best to have some potent tokes.
If your muscles are not dandy,
Try some green bud infused candy.
For migraines, spasms, even cancer,
Green buds and hash provide the answer.
If you are not feeling right,
Then have green buds and hash tonight.
- It's true I am not feeling great,
- My health's been rather poor of late.
- My doctor says that I have ills,
- He told me I should take these pills.
- I cannot even sleep at night,
- I never do feel quite alright.
- I will try green buds and hash,
- I will try them Mister Stash!
Pfffffffffffffft!
- Hey now I am feeling good!
- They worked just like you said they would.
- I have never felt this fine!
- Green buds and hash are quite divine!
- I will bake a green bud brownie,
- Whenever I am feeling frowny.
- I will try them vaporized,
- That technique seems very wise.
- I will take them in a tincture,
- And in every other mixture.
- Perhaps I would prefer to puff,
- And stop when I have had enough.
- I will roll some massive joints,
- And smoke them down to little points.
- I will toke upon the bong,
- I will do it all day long.
- I really like green buds and hash,
- I do enjoy them Mister Stash!
- Thanks for being so insistent
- And for being so persistent.
- My mind and body are improved,
- My spirit also has been moved.
- Though I was told they are a sin,
- Green buds and hash are medicine.
- I'm sorry that I was so hateful,
- Now I know I should be grateful!
- Thank you, thank you, Mister Stash,
- Thank you for green buds and hash!
ENJOY
