A dozen pot plants were discovered growing in a planter near the front door of a police station in Duluth, Minnesota. According to city gardner Tom Kasper, who was asked to identify the plants and then remove them, the plants were 4 to 6 inches high and had been planted roughly three weeks ago. From the Duluth News Tribune:
(Police Lieutenant John) Beyer pointed out that he, his police officers and the public use the backdoor entrance to the police station. The front door just off busy Grand Avenue is usually locked and not used.
"The only thing I can say is somebody has a sense of humor," Beyer said. "Now they'll read about it in the paper and say, 'Yeah, that was me…' "
But this isn't the first time marijuana has been discovered growing in a public place in Duluth. In 1990, a citizen pointed out to police that a 3-foot marijuana plant was growing in the northern corner of the Civic Center courtyard near City Hall.
