Fedup AOL	#3 Aug 29, 2007 The arrests were the culmination of a probe by local and federal authorities stretching back about eight years"" Thatsa one long p-r-o-b-e. They couldn't close the case sooner than a near decade? I'll bet the 'expenses' of the investigation were more than the crop's street value. A lucrative business, growing the stuff and stopping the growing. Judged: 1 Reply » Report Abuse Judge it!

Reread the article. FORMER NORTH BABYLON FIRE CHIEFS SON WAS ARRESTED. The former chief was not arrested and the guns in his home were all legal hunting rifles, there was no pot at his home.

jane1 Pompano Beach, FL	#21 Aug 29, 2007 Give me a break....go catch some terrorist. I've never touched pot and have zero interest, but, like Jesse Ventura, I belive it simply should be legalized.
