“They arrested the two elderly and ill residents. When did this happen and what were the residents charged with?”
Wakulla County, Fl, 2010. They were (”boyfriend”/”girlfriend”)alcoholics in their late 50’s. According to the paper they were drunk in the afternoon. She called the deputies because he was beating her, apparently a common occurrence. Three deputies came and “put them to bed.” There were 48 10” pot plants visible from the back door where the deputies were. They came back at 2:00 am with the SWAT team. According to the neighbor who watched the whole thing, they smashed in the door and dragged them out in cuffs. She’d had multiple cancer operations and the man weighed in at 120 or so.
Why the heck didn’t the three deputies who spotted the plants arrest them then? My feeling is they wanted a chance to exercise their SWAT team, use their toys and get overtime pay.
