A woman who requested deputies respond to a family dispute at her Payton Avenue home was found cultivating marijuana on her front porch. The investigating deputy immediately recognized the 12-inch-tall plant as the genus Cannabis.

“Someone else must have put it there. I just thought it was a pretty plant,” said the 42-year-old woman, denying any link to the plant.

She was cited for cultivation of marijuana and the potted plant was confiscated.
