Mass. police make $1M pot bust
August 14, 2009

WORCESTER, Mass. --Federal and local law enforcement authorities have removed more than 750 marijuana plants with an estimated street value of about $1 million from a Worcester home.

Vice squad Sgt. Carl Supernor says police went to the Alameda Road house at about 6:30 p.m. on Thursday with a warrant.

When nobody came to the door, police forced down the door and found a man identified as Tien Nguyen hiding in an upstairs bathroom.

The 37-year-old Nguyen was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to manufacture and trafficking in marijuana from 100 to 2,000 pounds.

Supernor tell The Telegram & Gazette the house had been converted into a highly sophisticated 'grow house' with more than 79 individual lighting systems operating on an automatic timing system.

....Police say Nguyen attempted to relieve hils bowls in the toilet but unfortunately was so scared about the police raiding him that he literally "shit his pants." Nguyen said he had always heard the phrase "had the shit scared out of me," and says he finally understands that the phrase is no lie!

...i just had to

A teenager suspected of car burglary was so surprised when he opened a car door to find a police officer sitting inside that he messed his pants, police said.

It's simply amazing how awe struck people are that those who set off to grow pot actually use the equipment they need to get the job done!

"We should go easy on this one Chief. He sprouted and grew his his pot plants in a medium made of pizza pies, fed them ground oreos, and used a candle for light to grow them."
