A 30-year-old man faces drug possession charges after authorities said they found two dozen marijuana plants growing inside his van.
Nathaniel F. Evans of Yarmouth, Maine, is charged in Jackson County Circuit Court with felony possession, manufacturing and delivery of a controlled substance.
On Wednesday, authorities found 26 marijuana plants growing under a battery-powered heat lamp inside Evans’ Ford van, said Sgt. Steve Leone.
“We sometimes find mobile meth cooking labs, but we normally don’t find a mobile marijuana growing operation,” Leone said.
Evans was driving through the area Wednesday morning when police stopped his van near Interstate 70 and Woods Chapel Road.
Investigators searched the vehicle and found small marijuana plants growing in a plastic tote rigged with a heat lamp powered by the vehicle’s battery, Leone said.
Bond for Evans was set at $25,000.

Well this is definitely a new one to me too. I can't even keep a plant alive in my house and this dude is keeping 2 dozen pot plants in his van.
ReplyDeleteMr. Shife - Yeah, it's a new one on me too. Pretty foolish really, personally I couldn't care less if every car on the road had pot plants growing in them but still, it's just asking for trouble.
