Silly Pot Tricks

This strikes me as a less than inconspicuous place to grow your herb .

Undercover officers ran across the marijuana plants in South Nashville Friday.

In the 300 block of Brewer Drive, police found numerous marijuana plants growing in a filled-in pool at the back of a house.

Although officers found numerous plants, the marijuana only amounted to 3 or 4 pounds.

The owner says he wasn't going to sell it. It was just for his own personal use.

I assume he only filled the pool partway with soil and hoped the plants wouldn't grow above the top. Still rather silly in this day of pot spotting cops on helicopter joy rides. It doesn't say how he got caught however and I can't find any other reports. I'd love to know.
