Posted: 9:03 AM- The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office uncovered an elaborate marijuana-growing operation early this morning in Salt Lake City.
The suspect has a homicide conviction on his record, so deputies called in the SWAT team to serve the warrant around 4:30 a.m. at 759 S. Kilbourne Court, according to sheriff's spokesman Paul Jaroscak.
Once inside, they found "a very, very sophisticated marijuana-grow operation," he said. "It was hydroponic - no soil. It's grown in water, with water pumped in and out of tubs. He had pipes and lights on timers, a venting system. He even had a surveillance camera on the outside."
The plants occupied several rooms in the home, according to their size, Jaroscak said.
Deputies were still counting this morning, but had recovered at least 60 marijuana plants of varying sizes.
The owner, John Scott Beverleigh, 52, and Angela Rekoutis, 28, of Salt Lake City, were arrested on suspicion of cultivation of marijuana.

Those two should have asked some Canadians how to keep it under the radar

"grown in water" - don't hyrdroponists usually use rockwool or something?

Edit - not that I know the first thing about marijuana cultivation.

A moment of silence for so much potential, wasted.

Dibs on the hydro set up

stupid.....don't grow if you already have a serious conviction against you

[GoldMember]

The owner, John Scott Beverleigh, 52, and Angela Rekoutis, 28, of Salt Lake City, were arrested on suspicion of cultivation of marijuana.

Question: how much more pot would they have to find to arrest him for just "cultivation of marijuana"?

"Well, let's see, he's a convicted murderer with a full hydro set-up in his basement and a surveillance camera on the outside of the house. But let's hear what he has to say."

[DougW]

err , how does it make skiing less safe?

[Steven S. Dallas]

Well, it'll make the accoutrements necessary for a successful safety meeting a little harder to come by...

On the other hand, there's one less murderer on the loose, so it's probably a wash.

He must've missed the memo.

Smoke pot... support murderers. Just goes to show. Don't you think its funny how some people will only buy stuff that is fair trade or organic, or not from Wal-Mart, yet not give a rats ass to where their money goes when they buy drugs? This just goes to show the stupidity and hypocrisy of left wing hippy freaks.

Lets hope they remove this scum from society. Besides, you can still get your pot and meth from the Mexican drug cartel.

[Steven S. Dallas]

He went to jail, paid his debt. You got a problem with our system, take it to your congressman.

Cuz the Pain Train gets grumpy when they don't get their weed on.

[Buzzworthy]

Saw footage on TV of the plants. Tears were shed.

Said 100 plants on TV.

Regardless, that was a big ass pile of plants and buds. Huge.

[natty dread]

Support the "war on drugs"... support murderers.

There, fixed it for ya.

[northshoreboy]

Seriously fuck Utah and those peice of shit usless cops. The mormons seem to hate weed (which sucks there anyways)...but if you want a hooker and a bunch of blow no problem. Ummmm Mormons love hookers and blow!!!!

I say armed invasion, its about time. Whats 650 inches of the fluffy if you cant toke.

[DisArray]

There, fixed it for ya.

Well, I think you get my point. Sure if it was legal then it would be easier to smoke pot with a clear conscience, but as it stands right now it is impossible to do so 'ethically' without supporting all sorts of bad people.

He went to jail, paid his debt. You got a problem with our system, take it to your congressman.

i don't have a problem with our system. I just hope that he gets an extremely harsh punishment. BTW when you intentionally take someone's life there is no amount of 'debt' that you can repay.

SSD: ask a lawyer
NSB: your a moron, traveled the world and had things in UT as good as anywhere, locality is not exclusive anymore. UT law is not any harder on weed than anyywhere else save NorCal and ASpen
disarray: point taken but I think the job opportunities for convicted murders begin and end with congressional staff and janitors
