[WI] Shroom growing site busted
    #13274224 - 10/01/10 08:48 AM (13 years, 7 months ago)

GENEVA TOWNSHIP — Police have discovered a site where hallucinogenic psilocybin mushrooms were being grown and distributed after neighboring business owners complained of a foul odor coming from the building.

One suspect was detained but another escaped from the site after investigators installed a motion detector that notified them when the building was being entered, according to a search warrant returned this week to Walworth County Court.

Initially, police thought the rancid odor was a rotting dead body, which led them to enter the building at W2888 Kruger Road, Unit G, on Saturday, according to the warrant.

Instead, they found “an elaborate growing operation of mushrooms,” according to the warrant.

Police found several tanks holding tarantula spiders, several bags of bird seed, pressure cookers, metal garbage cans with spigots, 10-gallon plastic buckets with an unknown bubbling liquid substance, a food dehydrator, drying mushrooms, about 20 storage bins with fungus growing inside and several clear plastic bags containing bird seed and fungus.

The district attorney’s office confirmed Thursday that it was waiting for reports from police in Geneva Township about the incident in order to pursue charges.

Walworth County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Dana Nigbor said hallucinogenic mushrooms are eaten and can provide a euphoric high for more than an hour. The cost of the drug is about $300 an ounce, she said.

The warrant provides these further details:

At about 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25, two Geneva Township officers met with the building owner who complained about the odor and said his other tenants were bothered, too.

The mushroom site was one of five smaller units that make up a single commercial building.

The building owner told police the unit renter, named in the warrant as Ian Henning of Elgin, Ill., had not been seen in three weeks.

A neighboring renter told police the odor, apparently caused by substances used to grow mushrooms, was getting worse each day.

Police later learned Henning was being held in an Illinois county jail for the past three weeks on drug charges.

Police then entered the building to make sure the odor was not that of Henning’s decomposing body.

Officers left the contents of the unit intact and installed the motion detector. At about 11 a.m. Sunday the detector alerted police, and two men were seen exiting the building.

One was arrested. The other fled on foot.

Dude got locked up for 3 weeks on drug charges and while he was in jail his mush grow went bad and everything started rotting and molding.

I gaurantee the 10'gallon buckets of an unknown bubbling liquid was bird seed that had been soaking in water for 3 weeks.

I have soaked millet and forgot about it for a couple of days and when I came back to it it was a nasty pool of bubbling water, and that was only a couple days. I can only imagine how nasty his shit was sitting there for 3 weeks!

I was wondering the exact same thing.


And I wonder of the guys who were there were the guys partners, or if they were just friends checking on things for him while he was in jail?

I had to abandon my grow during a hurricane evacuation years ago.  Got back to it after about a month...man what a mess.  Some jackass(es) broke into my place too while I was out of state and stole some things.  That's the last time I grew anything.

I guess it would be worth it since they provide a euphoric high that lass for more than an hour.

Either the first quoted paragraph is in the wrong place or you have cops with mental deficiencies. (Or both.)

They learned he was in jail so they searched for his decomposing body anyway?

Dude lived in Illinois but his grow was in Wisconsin. It was set up in a commercial building too. This wasn't just a spare bedroom.

And they didn't know he was in jail till after the search.

There is no way they actually thought the smell was a dead body tho. They just used that for an excuse to search the place.

A couple issues: The warrant was issued three days after the search. They were searching for a corpse, not drugs. You can not hold evidence against someone if it was not what the warrant was issued for.

A good lawyer and some plea bargaining, and he should be able to get this thrown out. Whatever he faces in Illinois though, who knows...
