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.

Really,?
I saw this kind of stuff on the streets of Oregon
Sounds like they are trying to steal her property.
This woman needs a good lawyer and sue each and everyone of these bastards for the force they used, I can agree some people do need to clean up their areas a little but not to the degree cops and swat teams and being held at gun point is needed, This handling of this incident needs attention, National Republican Congressional Committee
This only gives reason to have no respect for Police when they handle little things like this, these Cops deserve no respect.
Getting ready
Nice going azzholes
What a crock of$#%&!@* and the $4000 was for what????? Never did say why they thought she owed it, and the neighbors WTF was their problem????
