Pot heads, grab your hemp tissues and tie-dye bandanas. Chicago Police recently removed a 10-foot- tall cannabis plant growing openly in East Rogers Park, a few blocks from campus.
The plant was located steps from the apartments on 6748 N. Newgard Ave., close to the corner of Newgard and Pratt Avenues. The plant was growing amongst the flourishing vegetation, including trees, bushes and grass that line the block.
The person who reported the plant on Thursday, Sept. 10 to Chicago Police asked to remain anonymous, according to a Chicago Police News Affairs spokesperson. The person who found it waved down a Chicago Police officer who identified the plant. No name for the officer was provided. Police removed the plant and took it to be inventoried.
The plant was allegedly female, the gender of cannabis that produces the most potent form of marijuana, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.
During the investigation of this incident, there were conflicting reports between various police departments. When asked for a copy of the report on this incident, Chicago Police headquarters indicated that a report had not yet been filed. Chicago Police News Affairs provided basic information on the case.
Incongruities also exist regarding arrests made in the case. According to incident reports on the Chicago Police ClearMap Web site, an arrest was made in relation to the case; however, News Affairs said that no arrest was made.
