WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt. — Authorities say a second-grader s story about helping a farmer grow special medicine plants led to a man s arrest in a Vermont marijuana bust.
that Windsor Detective Jennifer Frank said in an affidavit that the 8-year-old told school officials and police that he got to help his mother s boyfriend grow special medicine that can cure anything at all.
Frank says the boy told her that people came to the Windsor house frequently.
Fifty-four-year-old Steven Mann pleaded not guilty last week in a White River Junction court to a felony count of cultivating more than 25 marijuana plants. A woman who answered a phone listing for a Steven Mann in Windsor County said it was the wrong number.
Police say they found two grow rooms next to the child s bedroom.
