TYLER, Texas - A Tyler man accused of growing marijuana in an alleged cost-saving move is jailed on felony possession charges. Bond is $15,000 [D'Oh! There goes the weed savings! I bet he was going to use that savings to do something nice like buy his girlfriend some new teeth. She lost the old ones and she's been wanting new ones for a while now.] for 55-year-old [Kids will be kids] John Daniel Miller III, who remained in the Smith County Jail late Tuesday.[D'oh again! I am sure that made him late for his shift at the Walmart.]
Sheriff's Sgt. Randal Hiller declined to release information on Miller [You mean other than his full name, the county in which he lives, his age, what he is charged with, how much weed he had, how they caught him, what his reaction was and what his defense is. Phew! I am glad they kept all that info a secret. Wouldn't want that leaking out.], including whether he has an attorney following Monday's arrest.[Top shelf reporting, Jimmy Olsen! I guess you could not get any info from any other source, like say, oh I don't know, maybe the public court record or something.]
Sheriff's Sgt. Randy Meadows told the Tyler Morning-Telegraph that a tip led officers to some rural property, where several marijuana plants — encircled by old tires [I am glad he encircled them with old tires. I'd hate to think he did not try to hide them or anything]— lined the driveway [Lining the driveway? Ok. Nice work. After all, where else could he have put them…in butt-scratch rural Texas…where there is not a lot of space to hide stuff??].
Deputies confiscated more than 70 plants[Or as Mr. Miller put it, "My good weekend."]. worth about $100,000.[How much weed is this guy smoking? He grew $100K worth of weed for his "recreational" use? Ok. Sure he did. I can't imagine him selling that or anything. Doesn't everyone smoke $100K worth of weed?]
Meadows said Miller told deputies he knew they were coming "sooner or later" [What would make him think that? 70 plants lining his driveway with old tires to mark their location? I can't imagine why he would have thought the police might discover that!] and he was cultivating his own marijuana because the cost of buying the illegal substance had gone up [Great defensive legal strategy. "Yes your honor. Times are tough all over. I was just trying to budget my money. The cost of hookers went up too, but they take too long to grow your own, so weed was clearly the better savings option."].
