Lawrence Police Confiscate
Pot Plants Just Blocks from City Hall
10/03/06
 LAWRENCE-
When a Lawrence city councilor went to visit a relative
on Newbury Street in Lawrence last month, he noticed
something odd growing just a few houses away.
“At first I thought I was seeing things,” the
councilor said, asking not to be identified. “Then I
realized I was seeing it right. It was a monster
marijuana plant that stood taller than I am.”

Upon further examination, the councilor noticed a patch
of other marijuana plants that were much smaller than the
one that originally caught his attention. “I
thought it would be a great story for The Valley
Patriot,” the councilor admitted, “so I went
home and got my camera before I called the police.”
The councilor said he contacted Lt. Sean Conway at the
police department, told him what he had seen and then we
went to the house to show him the plants. The councilor
said he was not sure if anyone was arrested, but
“they definitely confiscated the plants.” Lt.
Conway did not return our calls for this story.
