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.

What is a swat team doing these kind of duties? Who was responsible for this?
More tyranny from a local government. This is outrageous, the city destroys her farm, and then says she owes them for the SWAT team they sent to destroy it??? Totally wrong.
This is what our country has come to, they don’t want you to grow your food. They thin they are gods or something to come and take your property. There was a lady in Fla done about the same way, and there are many more people through out our country. That is being violated there freedom. This has to come to an end.Stand together America and take back our country, before its to late. God bless all of these people.
