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.

I support police not GOVERMENT hogs and s$#%&!@*bags in armour
The owner should sue the City. The cost of the swat team and damages to this farm should be on the ones that filled a these false complaint and the City for their failure to do a survey first before attacking using a SWAT team. It is crazy too think that Texas is starting too get these liberals nut jobs that complain about a organic farm.
