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.

The bubble is going to pop. It’s coming.
Obama is behind it! Seeing how far he can go! Time for a change in government!!!
just remember people we can have new people in charge on the next election day .we need government !!!!!!!!
Thieves!
Freedom at its best. We allow this. You. And me. This cop shop should be stormed. The politicians who made these rules should be homeless. This gets worse because we stand by and let it happen.
Obama sucks… and whoever the idiot was the led that raid…wow
I can’t believe a jury would do this. Come on people of Texas your a Republican State don’t act like a bunch of Democratic Communist. I lived in Texas 35 years in Lewisville, TX. and would be ashamed to know that people in this State would let this happen. Texans your better than that.
The government is forcing our hand.We can’t take much more of this. We went to war against England for taxes and many more of the same reasons we have now. The government has no right to do these things to honest citizens. Why don’t they stop illegals and leave honest citizens alone. I see the future and it doesn’t look good for us!
Effing Stasi $#%&!@*s
Exonerate the organic farmer and save the rough stuff for the real criminals. Since you didn’t find any drugs the question is how smart was the team of swat members?????
