Police answering call greeted by a large pot plant

Police credit caller with helping them uncover alleged drug operation that landed him in jail


PALM SPRINGS - Palm Springs police responded to a call in the upscale Smoke Tree neighborhood early Thursday looking for a possible burglar. What they found was an 8-foot-tall marijuana bush, more plants being cultivated in the garage and assorted drug paraphernalia.

In all, Palm Springs police said they confiscated more than $100,000 worth of marijuana - some packaged for sale and in plant form - from a house in the 1900 block of Navajo Drive Thursday.

The home's occupant, Ronald Meyers, 59, was jailed Thursday in lieu of $25,000 for possession for sale of marijuana.

Sgt. John Booth, a spokesman for the Palm Springs Police Department, said the bust would not have been possible had Meyers not called police himself.

Considered a sophisticated operation, the marijuana was apparently grown inside the house at the corner of Marion Way and Navajo, where signs for the area's Neighborhood Watch Association are posted nearby.

Neighbors walking in the area Thursday morning declined to be identified, but said they were unaware that anything criminal had gone on inside the house.

Those same neighbors believed Meyers had been living there for about two years.

Harvested marijuana, some packed into large closeable plastic bags, also was found in large storage bins that could be kept under a bed or a low-sitting piece of furniture.

The bins were stacked inside one of the house's three bedrooms beneath a wire rack authorities said they believed was used to dry out newly harvested marijuana.

The plants were discovered after Meyers called police shortly before 5 a.m. Thursday claiming that his house was being burglarized.
Police said he told them someone was trying to open his windows and he claimed he could hear voices outside.

When police found nothing, they asked if they could check inside, Booth said, and Meyers willingly gave them permission.

Besides the marijuana, police also found a number of syringes, at least one methamphetamine pipe and other drug paraphernalia.

Booth said he believes the largest of the marijuana plants - an 8 feet tall tree - had been growing for at least six months.

"PALM SPRINGS - Palm Springs police responded to a call in the upscale Smoke Tree neighborhood..."

Any vacancies in that part of town? Sounds like an address in a healthy, happy, hippie commune to me. Everything except the 'upscale' part.

The police find a (really big, really nice!) marijuana plant in the upscale "Smoke Tree" neighborhood? Well, yeah! So? God/dess has a wonderful sense of humor, yes?

Who else could make this stuff up? :-}

All the best to you,

Roger
