Cops: Man Tried to Get Rid of Pot Plants
A Sheridan, New York, man is facing charges of unlawfully growing marijuana and obstructing governmental administration.
In an e-mail sent to WESB and The HERO, Chautauqua County Sheriff’s deputies say they were called to a home on Route 20 for a domestic dispute and, when they arrived, no one answered the door so they started checking around the outside of the home. In the back of the house, they saw several marijuana plants on a window sill, and saw 48-year-old Lee Seybold in a bedroom.
Deputies made several attempts to get Seybold to open the door, but he didn’t respond. They were in the process of getting a search warrant to seize the marijuana plants when Seybold started pulling the plants out of the pots in an effort to destroy them.
He was arrested and the plants, as well as some pipes, were seized. Seybold was released on his own recognizance.
