The Tree We planted that is on Our Property that the "Neighbor" in below article damaged with a Machete (or simalar tool) because he wanted his Children to be able to practice baseball near. This is what We were watering with Creek Water!!! (NOT Cannabis) He then told lies to to the Police!
McLean shows the plants that he smokes from and said it is clear from the plants that he does not smoke over a joint a day. He finds it hard to point because his hands are shackled behind his back.

Former Green Party candidates have been busted for growing the green -- marijuana, that is.William "Dirt" McLean and his wife Lynn were busted last Thursday afternoon following an 11-month investigation by Magee Narcotics Investigator, Joey Womack.The investigation was brought on by complaints filed by citizens who reported that McLean was transporting water at all hours of the day and night from a local creek on his Kawasaki vehicle. It was also noted that during the night he was using flashlights, which drew attention to his movements.According to Womack, on May 22, the police department received a final piece of evidence that assured a search warrant. With assistance of other officers, including Chief of Police Rickey Davidson, the department raided the property at 305 Fifth Avenue belonging to McLean and his wife.The officers recovered approximately 100 plants planted in three containers. According to Womack, McLean admitted he had been growing marijuana since 2005. His wife admitted she was aware he was growing marijuana. The two were charged with felony manufacture, and the Kawasaki was seized.Officers also seized a small number of seeds and smoking pipes in his residence.An initial appearance was set before Judge Eugene Knight and bond was set at $5,000 for each of the two. As of Friday morning, the two were in custody of the Magee Police Department making bond arrangements.During the actual arrest, McLean was very calm and told law enforcement officers where the plants were located. He told the paper that he grew the marijuana for personal use and said he only smoked about one joint a day.He also stated that President George Washington grew two types of marijuana in his garden, one of which he used for making rope and the other he smoked in his pipe. McLean went on to say that he used the marijuana to help treat "nerve issues" he had.In March of this year, McLean had approached the Magee City Board in an effort to get the City to change existing drug law regarding marijuana. The board allowed McLean to present his request along with a lengthy letter he outlined to them. The city took no official action.

the warant was based mostly lies. They said they went though our trash that we had put out on the street and found stems with roots and dirt and some "green leafy material" that "field tested positive for marijuana". >>> . . . this is refered to in the above article that made the front page of local newspaper. ("According to Womack, on May 22, the police department received a final piece of evidence that assured a search warrant.")

The plants were no where near the creek and within reach of a Garden Hose! The bucket of water were to water a Pine Tree (on OUR Property near the Creek) which we planted near the creek, but a "bad neighbor" wanted that area for his 8 and 13 year old sons to practice baseball and made up lies to the police.
