A jury decided last year that the owner of a small organic farm, Shellie Smith, still owes $4000 after a raid by SWAT that destroyed her farm.
Garden of Eden, a small organic in Arlington, Texas, was the target of a SWAT raid in 10-hour long search with Smith being held at gunpoint at one point.
Arlington police dept. stated that there were complaints of marijuana being grown on the premises, but none was found on the property. Instead, law enforcement confiscated 17 blackberry bushes, 15 okra plants, 14 tomatillo plants, native grasses and sunflowers.

One, they don’t know what pot looks like, so means badly trained, & second, they needed the practice. Hope they feel stupid about themselves
It’s stories like this that give more negative lite to all pd. There for giving creedance to so called brutality.wheather true or not.
Texas is the worst. It’s not just the police. It’s the lawmakers. All masons.
No more MASONS! No more Police State!
Obama doesn’t want any organic farms to survive. Then we all have to eat Monsanto garbage with GMO’s and their pesticides.
Oh no what’s happening to Texas ? Iam in Calif and I thought we were the only true state going from bad to worse.
Marijuana could be spotted from a helicopter and Code violations don’t require a swat team. Welcome to Obama’s Police State!
Zeig Hiel!
Its very sad
They needed a swat team for blueberries? Unreal.
