Cops make major Hibiscus bust
Texas cops thought they’d made a major drug bust when they raided a home northwest of Houston last Tuesday. After all, it looked like there were huge marijuana plants growing in the front yard.
“All of a sudden, they burst in with their guns loaded, pointing at me, screaming, ‘Get on the floor! Get on the floor!’” northwest Harris County resident Blair Davis told KHOU-TV.
It turns out the tall plants with the narrow leaves arranged in a fan pattern weren’t pot plants at all, but specimens of Texas Star hibiscus, which Davis grows for his landscaping business.
