Default AUS: Police team mistakes sorghum for marijuana

Police team mistakes sorghum for marijuana:
March 13, 2005 | newkerala.com | News Staff

An Australian anti-drug police team destroyed a patch of tall sorghum destined for an Easter flower show, believing the plants were marijuana.

Barbara Ubrihien told the Sydney Daily Telegraph she and her husband, Peter, have been getting a lot of teasing.

"The farm has been in the family for three generations, but this is the first time its been involved in a marijuana bust," she said.

The Ubrihiens' sorghum crop, patiently cultivated for weeks, was to be part of ant entry in the Royal Flower Show in Sydney. But they say that ended when a police helicopter flew over the farm in Bega, south of Sydney, and hovered directly over the sorghum patch, knocking the heads off the plants.

A police spokeswoman said that the helicopter could not have been flying that low and suggested a strong wind was to blame.

I hope they (AUS) allow the owners to sue the cops for damages.
