Police are brutal in general around there, really sucks to here that. Best of luck to those involved there, hope they aren't fucked over.
Nah, not Woodstock as in 1969 Woodstock lol. I think that one was in New York.. And as for the cops, they're pretty bad all around up here. There are a lot of good ones, but it seems they never have anything better to do than pulling you over and arresting you for posession of 2.5g and saying they pulled you over because you didn't have a front license plate...when I clearly did lol. Profiling at its best! Happened almost 4 years ago when I was 16.

Sheriff’s and Woodstock police busted a hydroponics marijuana grow operation in the basement of a house. There, they discovered 247 plants. (Photo provided ) E-mail this story Print this story ShareShare WOODSTOCK – Two brothers accused of growing marijuana in a Woodstock rental home are free after posting $5,000 bail while their felony cases proceed. Joseph J. Revelle, 34, of 2456 Waterleaf Lane, Woodstock, and Brett K. Revelle, 44, of 538 Woods Creek Lane, Algonquin, rented a house at 2106 Aspen Drive in June through a corporation they owned, Woodstock Police Chief Robert Lowen said. Woodstock and McHenry County Sheriff’s police found 247 marijuana plants, in various stages of development, in the home’s basement this month, police said. Police also found about 4,000 grams of processed marijuana that likely came from the plants there, scales, packing material, lights, ballast, fans and materials for producing high-grade marijuana in liquid solution. Sheriff Keith Nygren estimated the street value of the marijuana seized to be about $300,000. Police do not believe that the property owner was involved in the operation, Lowen said. Police began investigating Jan. 8 after receiving an anonymous tip that the home was consuming an irregular amount of electricity, Lowen said. Officers noticed an odor of marijuana plants emitting from the house when they arrived. The house did not sustain any permanent structural damage, Lowen said. Police found some food but no bedding or other items to suggest that anyone was living there, Lowen said. The home is off McConnell Road on Woodstock’s southeast side. “There had been modifications made in the basement to sustain this grow operation, but nothing of a permanent nature,” he said. The brothers were charged with unlawful production of marijuana plants, unlawful manufacturing of marijuana, and unlawful possession of marijuana. The most serious charges are Class 1 felonies typically punishable with between four and 15 years in prison. Police do not believe that this operation is connected to any other the other indoor marijuana-growing operations they have busted in the last year or so, sheriff’s Lt. Andy Zinke said. “It’s a disturbing trend we’re seeing in the county,” Zinke said. “We’re doing everything we can to find these houses.” Lowen said residents can anonymously report suspicious activity, such as homes with several people coming and going without anyone apparently living there.
This isn't the kind of weed I get but I'm in the area, so I'll probably hear about someone being involved in this.....
