Hernando County Jail Intake Booking
Brooksville, Florida (The Weekly Vice) -- Ida May Wallace, a 60-year-old Brooksville Grandmother was arrested Tuesday after the woman's daughter and granddaughter turned her in for growing pot plants in her back yard.
Hernando County deputies responded to the woman's home after receiving a report of a "verbal disturbance," according to the arrest report.
When officers arrived at the residence, they were met by Wallace, her daughter and her granddaughter who had reportedly been arguing. Deputies interviewed the daughter and granddaughter who both them Wallace was growing pot plants in the backyard.
When the deputy asked Wallace about the alleged plants, she openly admitted to possessing them and offered to show them to the deputy, according to the arrest report. She then lead the deputy to the backyard to reveal 13 marijuana plants ranging from 5" to 14" in size.
Wallace was taken into custody and booked into the Hernando County Jail on a charge of cultivating marijuana.
The Weekly Vice Opinion:
Well, here we go again. Our monthly case of family members who are turning in their own parents - and now even their grandparents - for growing a pot plant.
It seems now you can't hardly get kids raised and out on their own before they're back in your shorts, turning you in "for your own good"...
Sigh.

its freaking POT!!!! not meth, not coke, POT!!! i can't wait until this sh*t is legal so all these morons can feel stupid.
why do i get the feeling that the origins of this "verbal disturbance" was not the weed?
anyway, granny should have known better.....
legalize it, don't criticize it.
this is ridiculous. the war on pot is preposterous. people cause more havoc on booze than herb any day...
I met Ida a few years ago when my mom moved to FL and they became neighbors. Here's the crazy part:last year she hitch hike to Maine to bail her daughter and granddaughter out of the trouble they were in up there. Thanks mom/grandma for putting your life on the line, now rot in jail. This is horrible.

This is terrible, she is a wonderful person who has been through hell. Maybe she is better off for awhile, at least she can have some peace. She is always doing for others,and helping everybody. Her crime is not that bad. Give her a break....
HE that is without sin, caste the first stone. She may have done a little wrong, but who doesn't, don't worry what comes around goes around....
