A Buffalo Township couple in none too pleased about police officers with assault rifles holding them at gunpoint and then inside the back of a squad car for several hours over a hibiscus plant.
According to the York Daily Record, 69-year-old Edward Cramer and his 66-year-old wife, Audrey, are suing not only their local police department but also Nationwide Insurance Co. because they say the entire incident stems from one of their insurance agents being dumber than a box of shit and alerting police that they were growing marijuana inside their house when the plant was really just of the hibiscus variety.
The Cramers said a Nationwide agent came to their house on October 5 to take a look at a fallen tree, but that agent instead took pictures of their “flowering hibiscus plant,” thought it was the sticky icky and alerted authorities. Two days later, officers with the Buffalo Township Police Department held assault rifles on them despite the fact that they repeatedly told them it was just a hibiscus plant.
The Cramers are seeking “monetary and compensatory damages and court costs.” Let’s hope they make enough money off of this to buy a boatload of the best weed on the planet.
