[MI] Senior citizen arrested in Detroit for running $1 million marijuana operation

Senior citizen arrested in Detroit for running $1 million marijuana operation
April 29, 2011 - mlive.com



A senior citizen is behind bars today for running a more than $1 million marijuana operation in Detroit, officials say.

The Wayne County Sheriff Benny N. Napoleon tells Fox 2’s Simon Shaykhet the 70-year-old man was allegedly running a distribution network and there is no way the marijuana was being used for medicinal purposes.

Shaykhet describes the marijuana grow facility, located on Birwood Avenue, as “an assembly line of weed” and “a dope dealer’s dream."

According to the report, the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department recently has made three busts, equaling nearly $2.5 million.

Napolean was unavailable for comment.

The stings in Wayne County add to an array of recent drug enforcement by officials in Metro Detroit.

Thursday Federal authorities say baggage handlers working for Delta Air Lines conspired to smuggle drugs to Detroit from airports in Houston and Jamaica.

Ten of the 12 people charged were former or current Delta baggage handlers, according to Brian Moskowitz, head of investigations in Michigan for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

When Northwest Airlines flight 2321 landed in Detroit, authorities seized five suitcases with 284 pounds of marijuana and 35 pounds of cocaine, the agent said. Delta is Northwest's parent company.

And earlier this month, local law enforcement with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration raided a number of Metro Detroit homes and businesses, including two medical marijuana dispensaries, a strip club, a restaurant and the home of prominent businessman Romel Casab, who also owns the long-shuttered Packard Plant.

Details around the raids remain under wraps, authorities say.

Napolean told Fox 2 that his department is going “ to continue to ruin someone’s day,” by busting more drug operations.

Absolutely. You gotta figure... the love generation are now elderly. So people who were at woodstock and could have been old enough to vibe are senior citizens. Why are these reporters so surprised thata child of the sixties would like ganja?

That looks like he just started there too. Maybe just had his first big pull and got popped. Goes to show you stay out of commercial buildings. Business buildings are just bad news as everyone wonders what is going on in there but a house is pretty private.

sure indoors is great and dandy. But even in your house shit can happen. Guerrilla grow in a big ass park or secluded forest. No power bills or anything. Plant a bunch of dr greenthumbs autos and your set in 3 months.

Man I can't believe no one mentioned it.  That cop hit the nail on the motherfucking head.

"We're going to continue to ruin someone's day.  Someone's real unhappy right now."

Got that shit right.  That karma is going to eat your ass up in the end though.  Smug as a bug in a rug are we?
