Published in Weird News
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (UPI) -- A Florida police department said it is "holding on to" 16 potted marijuana plants found on a trail until the owner comes forward.
The Gainesville Police Department said in a Facebook post Officers Quimbayo and Holcomb responded Tuesday to the trail near Norton Elementary School after an off-duty Alachua County Sheriff Deputy out walking his dogs discovered the 16 individually-potted plants under a large bush near the pathway.
"The officers collected the plants and are storing them until the rightful owners can be found," the department said.
Police left a note behind at the scene, reading: "We have your weed. Call 911 to and claim it. Thanks, GPD."
"So -- if they are yours...please give us a call to set up a time that we can speak about them," the Facebook post reads.
