Why is the property owner going to prison over this?

He fired no shots and was at odds with the growers.

Ishmael, the 37-year-old father of three, was responding to a midnight 911 call from property owner Christopher Garry Ross, who told authorities he saw people in his marijuana grow and thought they were stealing his plants.

In reality, authorities say, Ross was renting out his property as a grow site for $13,000 and knew it was being tended by Vazquez and another man. Officials have said Ross called 911 because he believed the men paying Vazquez and another man planned to take the plants without paying him $3,000 they still owed.
