"It looked like a jungle in there!", said one observer (see first picture at the top). Two 40-something brothers – Keith & Craig Harrigan – with Craig's 18-year-old son Marc in tow, got busted this week in the Big Apple for allegedly "growing a groovy garden of the illegal foliage" known as marijuana on all three floors of their Staten Island home! (Links to full story at bottom).And the cops who raided this giant joint (pun intended) were certainly in for a good time: The grass fumes in the home were reportedly so strong, the raiding cops nearly got stoned just from entering this hive! One cop said: "You almost got a contact high by just going into the house. It was like a heavy, earthy pot smell."
This "virtual tropical island" that New York's Finest entered also shocked them for other reasons: They recovered a whopping 375 wacky tobaccy plants, plus 60 pounds of harvested Tree, plus a whole lotta loot from a hidden safe.
Cops were also startled but yet impressed by the sheer sophistication of this alleged combustible herbage-cultivating threesome, whose operation allegedly involved a high-tech "growhouse, including irrigation tubes, halogen lamps and a ventilation system."
To boot: The three alleged roach relatives reportedly housed a virtual library of ganja-growing "literature," not to mention a police scanner to monitor any fuzz transmissions aimed at putting a "kill" on their mighty mez-lovin' chronic!
And this alleged Doobie Dad, Brother & Son were reportedly raking in quite the cash cow for their alleged sticky icky icky operation: To the tune of at least $150,000 a month! Not bad for a few seeds and a big bunch of hog leg!
But this alleged reefer-raising group of three must have lived a rather solitary existence in their little crippy crib: Not much room for the ladies in this reported hydro home given that every available inch of square footage was allegedly devoted to a different kind of mistress – Mary Jane, that is. Says the District Attorney: "You couldn't fit anybody else in the place. They were living in a pot jungle."
Now, these alleged la la, limbo-likin' lords of the paca lolo may have to do their spliff sensation in a different kind of "joint" known as the Empire State Ice House. Much like a skater of schwag, things suck worse for this alleged indo-indoctrinated crew of onion lovers than a midget on skid row lurking about for his next visit from Mr. J and Reggie.
Put another way, this alleged tical-loving threesome faces takin' their kind bud treats through a row of bars, as the cops have slapped them with a "slew of drug charges" – not a nib, mind you.
But it gets even worse for these alleged dank dorks: It's also alleged that in order to hide all of the electricity necessary to power their hooter heaven, they heimed up a bypass of the Electric Company's meter – and in the process swiped some $150,000 of free electricity in order to prop up their little Jay walk.
That little alleged shake skrill of a shortcut has these three alleged nugget dubbing motas contending with an additional fatty charge of grand larceny, which holds in store a promise of at least an additional 420 days in the freezer. One toke over the line, sweet Jesus!
