A jury decided last year that the owner of a small organic farm, Shellie Smith, still owes $4000 after a raid by SWAT that destroyed her farm.
Garden of Eden, a small organic in Arlington, Texas, was the target of a SWAT raid in 10-hour long search with Smith being held at gunpoint at one point.
Arlington police dept. stated that there were complaints of marijuana being grown on the premises, but none was found on the property. Instead, law enforcement confiscated 17 blackberry bushes, 15 okra plants, 14 tomatillo plants, native grasses and sunflowers.

That’s funny .. Where do you get your intelligence. A crack addict on his way to jail?
Minsato and GMO c**p
Thats a little overboard. If they had issued citations before then they knew what was on the property. Plant of any kind take a while to grow. She should have cleaned up the place but the neighbors were at fault too.
WTF, leave farmers alone!!!
This is the police state we live in. And guess what? They’re just getting started!
Check out what else SWAT teams are used for in this day and age. Driving without the State’s permission. American common law says no victim, no crime.
How can you believe someone who writes their own news and never backs it up with anything else? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Truth/1445290879132981
