Farmers Demand Apology After Texas Police Raid Farm for Pot and Find Tomatoes
Money well spent
The owners of a small organic farm in South Arlington are demanding an apology from police who raided the property in early August in what amounted to be a fruitless search for marijuana.
Arlington police and city Code Enforcement officers raided the Garden of Eden, a 3.5-acre farm on the 7300 block of Mansfield Cardinal Road on the morning of Aug. 2. Police were searching for marijuana in the gardens, according to search warrants obtained by NBC 5.

Of course it was 'fruitless'. Tomatoes are not fruit.
