SALINA - Two people were arrested Sunday afternoon after 31 marijuana plants were pulled out of the back seat of their car.
The driver, Keith Duetsch, 25, Breckenridge, Colo., and a passenger, Kara McGinnis, 24, West Chester, Pa., were arrested after being pulled over on Interstate 70 near Salina for an equipment violation and speeding in a 2000 Jeep Cherokee.
While talking with the two suspects, the UHP trooper noticed two smoked marijuana joints in the passenger door. A further search revealed a small amount of hashish and 31 marijuana plants in a plastic bag on the rear seat.
The plants were each about 6 inches tall. According to the UHP, each plant has the potential to yield 1 pound of marijuana.
Can you remove this please? The charges were dropped! Keith is an Iraq war vet who lost his right leg while in Iraq. The medical cannabis was purchased legally with a medical marijuana card that he had on him. The "plants" had no roots so were not legally plants. Keith was the sole user of this, the leaves normally don't root, which is why you begin with so many. The passenger even submitted to a drug test (hair) which was negative.
ReplyDeleteThe charges were dropped!! This reflects poorly on these individuals during google searches and fails to tell the complete story.
