Marijuana Growing Suspect Calls Police, Is Arrested

MARATHON, Fla. -- Police confiscated some marijuana plants and left a ransom note for their owner, who was arrested when he called the number on the note and agreed to pay for the plants, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.

Someone had called the Sheriff's Office to report marijuana plants growing on a wooded lot off Coco Plum Drive in Marathon. Detectives arrived to find six large marijuana plants.

The detectives confiscated the plants, leaving a note in their place, according to the Sheriff's Office.

The note said, "Thanks for the grow! You want them back? Call for the price…We'll talk," with a phone number at the end.

According to the Sheriff's Office, about 10 minutes after police left the note, 48-year-old Steven Alan Locasio called and asked what he would have to do to get the plants back. Police said Locasio offered $200 for the safe return of the plants.

Locasio met the detectives at the corner of Coco Plum Drive and Avenue H, and Locasio handed over the cash, police said. The detectives then arrested Locasio.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office said detectives found 20 more marijuana plants, 4 pounds of marijuana and several OxyContin pills in Locasio's home.

Locasio and his wife, Christine Locasio, are charged with cultivation of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and sale of marijuana.

careful - stupid people are the ones that make this country revolve...

Sad but true.

(if you dont understand my reasoning, just look at the workers in the production scene.)
 
Boy, talk about another dumb criminal!

This reminds me of a time when the police needed to arrest a bunch of people, but didn't want to spend a large amount of money to go after them individually. So, they sent out a letter telling them that they were elected to get a prize and had to come in to claim their prize. The letter was signed "J.L. Byrd" (JAILBIRD!!!). A bunch of them showed up and when the time was right, the police simply walked in and caught them by surprise. Hehehe!
