MARATHON, Fla. — Investigators in the Florida Keys say they lured a suspected marijuana grower into turning himself in by leaving a ransom note in place of six seized pot plants.
The sheriff's office in Monroe County says detectives discovered the plants in a wooded lot and confiscated them.
They left a phone number on a note that read: "Thanks for the grow! You want them back? Call for the price."
Steven Alan Locasio called the number about 10 minutes later. Locasio offered $200 for the plants, and detectives agreed to meet him for an exchange.
Locasio was arrested and booked into jail on drug charges. He was expected to appear in court Tuesday. It's unclear if he already has an attorney.
A telephone message left for Locasio was not immediately returned

He's probably still trying to figure out what that ringing in his ears is :) .........

No shit. Don't even get me started. This country wastes a ridiculous amount of cash fighting the marijuana industry - and they can't win.

So fucking stupid. And this is coming from someone that doesn't smoke.

Wouldn't that be entrapment of some kind and illegal?

If you're dumb enough to pay someone to get the pot that was stolen from you back, no.

Thank God it's legal here in Denver.

This is also coming from someone that doesn't smoke.

In related news, a Monroe County Florida sheriff's spokesman stated their Sheriff's department New Years Eve party was a rousing success. Apparently one of the department detectives wife's brownies were the hit of the party.

Entrapment involved tricking someone into an illegal act, not tricking someone into admitting responsibility for an illegal act already committed.
