JOHNSTON, Iowa (AP) -- The president of a community college was arrested Wednesday on charges of raising marijuana for sale.

David England, 50, of Johnston, was being held at a county jail on $49,075 bond. Des Moines Area Community College placed him on paid administrative leave.

"Clearly this is not the kind of thing that happens every day and we're just shocked and stunned -- and really hoping it's a big mistake," college spokesman Donavan Honnold told WHO-TV in Des Moines.

Police went to England's suburban Des Moines home after receiving a tip that he was selling marijuana.

Officers seized harvested marijuana worth about $8,000 and 72 live plants, said police Sgt. Craig Porter.

A woman who answered the phone at England's home Wednesday night said she was his wife and they had no comment.

She said England had a lawyer but refused to give the lawyer's name or her own.

England was charged with manufacturing and delivery of marijuana, conspiracy, possession of drug paraphernalia and a tax stamp violation, police said.

"no comments!"
 
shao: (being arrest) hey hey hey!
cop: for growing pot
shao: WHAT?! THAT"S DAMN BONSAI!
 
Poor guy... all he did was grow weed for his own personal use. I don't think smoking marijuana has anything to do with his profession - apparently, he was doing his job well... if he didn't, he wouldn't be a prez of a college in the first place!

Therefore.... the anti-marijuana laws are :bsflag:

weed is for medical needs and i know one person using that for that personal reason, and he seems to do ALOT better than dealing with the RX it lasts a short time while weed lasts a while longer and able to function without pain!
