BOW – A Concord man, armed with a .357 handgun and in the company of his Great Dane, was arrested yesterday while watering his marijuana plants growing within 50 feet of Interstate 89, police said.

Ten minutes later, police arrested him as he was watering his plants.
Drake is being held at the Merrimack County jail on $100,000 cash bail.
Police seized 132 high quality marijuana plants , 44 growing on the south side of I- 89 and and another 88 growing on the north side
The marijuana had an estimated street value of $132,000, according to police.

What a shame. I used to live right off Loudon Rd to, wish I could of seen the grow, even though it was a realllly bad and sketchy idea having a grow that close to the highway. Just boggles me that he was smart or skilled enough to grow the plants, but not bright enough to choose a good, secure place. I mean how many State cops do you see daily driving down a highway? So sad how many people have been busted in the Concord/Manchester area this Summer. When will this madness all end and people can frolic in fields blitzed out of their minds?

The amount of times I've heard of people being busted for growing near a major road... and you wonder why it was noticed and busted? You don't think people have to stop to hike into the woods and piss?
I've stumbled upon grows doing that on the fucking 101. Yes the 101, 50 feet off the damn road I've also stumbled on grows. Of course I didn't do shit to it or report it, but the fact that I found one just because I had to piss makes me think people are jackasses for growing in such 'convenient' spots.
Grow deep in the woods damnit, so you don't get caught.

Something I forgot to add about the area, the State Police HQ for the state is literally less than 5 miles from route 89. This guy really had no brains.
Plus, not to mention the nasty carbon that settles along everything on the side of highways. I live on a trucking root in bumfuck NH and I have to clean my windows bi monthly cause of all the shit that collects from rather light traffic compared to a city highway. Wouldn't want to be smoking those buds cause of that, pretty sure thats a good way to give yourself the cancer or something nasty.
