A teen accused of posting pictures of his potted marijuana plants and drug paraphernalia on MySpace.com faces charges after police monitoring for gang activity traced the information to him.

Authorities said a label on the picture of potted pot plants read: "My Mary Jane thats growin in my closet right now.''

"People think that Web sites are more private than they are,'' Sheboygan County District Attorney Joe DeCecco said. "This is just another tool for us to use.''

The criminal complaint filed in Circuit Court Wednesday against Moua Yang, 18, of Sheboygan said police were monitoring another Web site when they saw that Yang had posted pictures of weapons and drug gear and had bragged about the plants in his house. Other individuals were also pictured or mentioned on the site.

I hate to post this story - not because of its newsworthiness - but because I'm anxious to see some Freeper humor.

Comments or opinions - anyone?

My libertarian principles are at war with my desire to see an idiot suffer the consequences of his own stupidity.

It's people like this who give marijuana a bad name.

When reading these stories, I am often tempted to take up a life of crime.

With competition this stupid, you just KNOW there's gotta be room for someone with a bit upstairs...

Yang faces felony charges of manufacturing marijuana and maintaining a drug trafficking place, and misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Even though he isn't really a criminal now, he will be when he gets out, which is, of course, the plan.

" felony charges of manufacturing marijuana and maintaining a drug trafficking place, and misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia"

"Manufacturing" marijuana??

When I was a student at Wisconsin, there was an article on the front page of one of the student newspapers about street sign theft. It had a picture of a student lounging in his dorm room amongst all of the signs he had stolen. The caption even ID'd the student. He was busted the next day.

"People think that Web sites are more private than they are,''

People also think criminals are less stupid than they actually are.

I'm a kid of the 70's so my mom and dad always gave me the obligatory speech about weed killing brain cells.

Maybe this kid should keep the few he does have and call it a day.....

The worst thing here is this fool will be treated hasrsher than some other fool who molested some kid somewhere.

"Yang faces felony charges of manufacturing marijuana and maintaining a drug trafficking place, and misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia."
