A complaint of a yard full of weeds won't usually get investigators checking up on the home owner. Unless, the weeds are wacky. So it only took a quick peek from a Madison County Investigator to determine these weeds were marijuana. Investigator Bobby Adams tells the Madisonville Meteor the pot plants were two feet tall. He says 14 of the plants were growing in the front yard of a Midway home. Since they were visible from the street and definitely in plain sight, Adams says he didn't need a search warrant.

After weeding the yard during his evidence collection, Adams pulled up 14 plants by the roots. 52 year old Donald Jeffries admitted the plants were his and was arrested for possession. Each plant had a street value of about $500 making the total haul worth about $7,000.
