Piece of Evidence Turned Piece of History
April 7, 2005
wroctv.com
The Rochester region hopes to make a unique contribution to a national museum.
A tool shed, modified into a drug lab, may soon be shipped down to the Drug Enforcement Agency Museum in northern Virginia.
Gregory Liptak admitted to using the shed for an elaborate mushroom growing chamber. He will spend at least two years in prison for his crime. Now that the case is closed, the evidence can take its place, in national narcotics history.
When investigators learned how Gregory Liptak was earning a living many couldn't believe their eyes. He had converted a plastic storage shed to a mushroom growing chamber and he was selling thousands of dollars worth of hallucinogenic mushrooms a week.
Macedon Police Sgt. John Colella says, "I've never seen anything as complex as this."
Now the Macedon Police say the D.E.A wants the chamber for its museum.
It's an idea that's popular with many of the investigators who worked hard on the case.
Colella says, "it would make us all very pleased to see our hard work pay off and end up in a museum like that."
Macedon Police Chief John Ellis says, "We're rather ecstatic about that. To think we've participated in something and are able to contribute to a national museum."
The lab is thought to be one of the largest mushroom growing operations in the northeast.
It was the first case of it's kind in Wayne County. Now it may end up going down in not only local history, but in U.S. history as well.

Wonder if that guy had an account here?
The cop mentions it would make him feel good to see his hard work had paid off by having the shed in the museum. I'm a little confused as to what good they've done society?
