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.

Liberal Democrat police state!
Wow all those criminal plants, Who knew. Hell them Blackberry plants may actually have berries on them!!!!!!
Just so sad
what is wrong with us? have We gone nuts?
Why would she owe them for carrying out a raid when no illegal plants were found? Didn’t know blackberries were illegal! I thought they grow wild inmost of the country as do raspberries!
Every cop involved should be EXECUTED!!! no exception.
$#%&!@* storm trooper and the $#%&!@* who want to make her pay for their screw up. 0bama storm troopers.
Even if she had marijuana, she shouldn’t be billed. That’s what our taxes are for.
We live in an Obama Police State. BE VERY AFRAID!
This $#%&!@*er won’t stand up to Arab countries, but watch out if your a small farmer.
