Man inadvisably calls 911 for marijuana growing advice‎

A Connecticut man's plan to grow marijuana went up in smoke after he called 911 and asked how much trouble he would get into for growing the drug.

"I was just growing some marijuana and I was just wondering what, how much, you know, trouble you can get into for one plant," a not-so-bright Robert Michelson asked on Thursday night.

When the dispatcher asked if there was an active crime in progress, the 21-year-old answered "possibly."

Dispatchers traced the call to Michelson's home in Farmington, where police found drug paraphernalia and a small amount of pot. Michelson admitted he bought seeds and equipment online for growing. He was released on $5,000 bail.
