COUPLE SUES AFTER POLICE MISTAKE HIBISCUS FOR A ‘POT PLANT’ IN DRUG BUST

A Pennsylvania couple is suing the police after the department made a huge mistake. Based on the photos given to them by an insurance agent, police officers made a ‘drug bust.’ But they mistook a hibiscus plant for a marijuana plant.
Audrey Cramer, 66, could not hold back the tears as she described how three Buffalo Township police officers pulled her out of her home on October 5 wearing only her underwear. The police were at her home, responding to an insurance agent’s claim that the Cramers were growing marijuana in the backyard of their home.
Edward Cramer, 69, said he returned home a half-hour later to find his wife in the back of a police cruiser and officers pointing guns at him. He also was placed in the cruiser despite trying to convince the officers the plants were hibiscus, not marijuana.
The insurance agent was at the Cramers’ home to take photographs for a claim when he snapped photos of the hibiscus plants he thought were marijuana. He turned the photos over to the police, who agreed, and they immediately went to bust the Cramers for growing the plant.
