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.

This is Gov. pushing people around….So stupid.
One more example of our out of control government.
To all you liberals out there .this is what you get with your big government nanny state c**p.
If you think it won’t happen to me guess again
cant even run a legal small business our once great has become not so great
Everyone on the Swat team needs to get up every day & look at themselves in the mirror & ask which other innocent citizen are they going to ruin today & we’ll just let the illegals & rest of the real criminals run rampant.
It took an armed swat team to go after okra & tomatoes? The Arlington police department should have to pay for ALL renovations! To think something so Stupid could happen in Texas is totally disgusting. It would appear the man at the top has stooges in just about all the states. As Edward said, WAKE UP AMERICA!
