Green thumb granny

Gardening is an activity that many of our senior citizens really love. Some of them love it more than others, though:
A 71-year-old woman was arrested on drug charges after a chest-high marijuana plant was found in her yard, a plant she said was meant to keep animals away from her garden.

A sheriff's deputy saw the plant as he drove past Betty Holt Walker's home earlier this month, according to Capt. Tony Caliendo of the Guilford County Sheriff's Department.
Well, I'm sure it was just a mistake. I mean, it's not like this sweet old lady knew what the plant was, right?
The deputy stopped to investigate and found five smaller plants behind a shed, as well as marijuana stems and seeds, and a water bong made from a soda bottle inside the house, Caliendo said.
Oh. Never mind.
