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.

Keystone Cops !! A regular “Alice’s Resturant Masacre ” !!
Heaven help this poor woman. Any half educated cop could walk a few steps and see there were no marijuana plants, and leave peaceably. The stealing of her garden plants and all other actions were a huge over-kill on the part of Obamo gestapos. I hope she sues the city, the gestapo dept and every gestapo that was on her property.
Why? Her food won’t kill you.
What in the world!?!?!!
Was it necessary to send in a SWAT team? Shame on you all…police included! This was intimidation at it’s worse!
Welcome to obummerland.
That isnt legal. That farmer should have called in a stand off with the local negotiator and bomb squad. And bombed him with knowledge
This country is going to hell in a hurry.
wel from what I read this is a case of the town bully
hard at it …working the big crimes …why bother with the terrorist in office when blue berries are involved and were they charged with theft for what they ate
