weird raid that went down in my town
    #9886904 - 02/28/09 09:00 PM (15 years, 1 month ago)

Some kid that grew up down the street from me got busted a few days ago for growing mushrooms.  Here is what is weird.  Over the last 3 years or so he's been dealing all kinds of other shit...not mushrooms.  Well he ordered a grow kit and some spores off of the internet and got busted 3 weeks later. 

Now, the cops didn't come for him.  They came for his wife because he apparently used her credit card to order the kit.  And when the police came, they arrived with a HAZMAT truck to take away the jars.

Now if he is a dealer of only "other" shit up to the grow, and his wife had nothing to do with it, and they had Hazmat trucks come with the cops, was he caught just from ordering the kit and spores online?

From what I understand, (and this is all heresay because I don't really know the kid, but my friends hang around him quite often), he didn't tell a soul about the grow.  Apparently, he didn't even tell his wife, who they originally came for.  And since he has been selling other shit for years, why would they come with mushrooms their only priority, hence the hazmat truck.  He only ordered them 3 weeks prior.

Now he's served time, and was on probation now (i think), does that make it ok to track his wifes credit card order?

Why would they bring a hazmat truck to bust a mushroom grow?

Seems strange.  Why would they be checking his wifes credit card? 

Could of been randomly reported by the credit card people but that doesn't seem likely.

I think its more likely that they busted him from his dealing and the rest is just rumour.

The police aren't very knowledgeable about drug matters.

They see pressure cookers and jars and likely think meth...

The hazmat truck is the biggest mystery to me. They brought it "with" the police, like they were expecting a HUGE grow or something. The hazmat people took the jars. This kid never sold mushies before. This was his first try I guess.

My first thought IF they were checking his wife's bills is that he caught some heat from his actions dealing other illicit substances.  They were watching he and his wife's bills and noticed a charge for mushroom spores.  Really though, what company would bill their customers with "Psilocybe cubensis spores" though?  Even if they noticed the spores charge, I don't believe that alone is enough for a warrant.

If I had to guess though, I'd say someone ratted him out.

Exactly what I was thinking.  This makes most logical sense from the information that was posted.
