Man Jailed on Drug Charges

A Frewsburg man is in McKean County jail after a marijuana growing operation was discovered on the Allegheny National Forest.

Law enforcement officials say they had been watching a field with about 50 marijuana plants in it for some time. They say 57-year-old William Kamholtz harvested the crop and they stopped his truck and arrested him after finding a duffel bag with suspected marijuana in it.

Kamholtz is facing charges of manufacture and intent to deliver marijuana and possession of a controlled substance. His bail is set at $75,000, and he is scheduled to appeaer in McKean County Central Court next Thursday.

Hopefully he gets off on a technically of some sorts. Growing your own marijuana is legal in some states. New York and Pennsylvania need to get with the program. It's the harvest season. I hate to say it, but there are real criminals doing a lot worse in our towns. Why don't the police keep a better eye on the child molesters that are on the loose? In my opinion, the police should camp outside their homes, instead of some field with illegal crops. Potheads are eating Doritos and commenting on stories, not raping and murdering. I'm sure 50 plants qualifies as a "big drug bust," but most likely that would only yield enough bud for a years worth for small group of smokers. That's hard to predict. I'm not a farmer, all I'm saying is spend time and money locking up real criminals.
