Doesn’t everybody guard their houseplants with a shotgun?

If you’re going to illegally grow marijuana at home, don’t put the plants in the front window. That’s the advice a man in Las Vegas, N.M., might give after police last week saw the plants in his window and investigated. The suspect promised to destroy the plants, but police arrested him after finding 15 pounds of pot, a glass smoking device, two scales, a shotgun and a revolver. (AP)
A “dream home” in Waco, Texas, redone by HGTV’s “Fixer Upper” has been a bit of a nightmare. Early Saturday, a suspected drunk driver crashed his vehicle into an interior room. The owners, asleep in another room, weren’t hurt, but the couple didn’t seem shocked by the mishap. “It’s like the Wild West here,” Kelly Downs said. “There’s been a lot of commotion coming from the bars ... across the street. It’s been a problem from the beginning.” (AP)
Brian Pritchard of Ocala, Fla., says he has a problem with monkeys — mean monkeys. He said last week that rhesus monkeys swarm his property twice a day to swipe food from a deer feeder. He’s seen as many as 50 monkeys at a time. Officials said they probably are from Silver Springs State Park, 4 miles away. Even though he finds them nasty, Pritchard told WFTV 9, “As long as they don’t bother me or my kids, I’m not going to bother them.” (EXPRESS)
