Pavilion resident accused of growing marijuana

By Howard B. Owens

A 25-year-old Pavilion resident is being held in the Genesee County Jail on $10,000 bail after being found allegedly growing marijuana.

The Local Drug Task Force executed a search warrant today at 10831 South Lake Road, Pavilion, and allegedly found marijuana growing, dried marijuana, smoking devices, U.S. currency, brass knuckles and several pieces of equipment used for growing marijuana.

The Task Force described the quanity of marijuana as "large."

Kyle R. Washington was charged with criminal possession of marijuana, 2nd, unlawful growing of cannabis by an unlicensed person and criminal possession of a weapon, 4th. 

The District Attorney's Office and uniformed members of the Sheriff's Office assisted in the investigation and arrest.

The story mentions brass knuckles- which rang a bell; seems like brass knuckles and pot growing seem to go hand in hand. After researching the concurrence of marijuana and brass knuckles online, it doesn't merely SEEM like the two go hand in hand, stories relating pot-grower busts and possession of brass knuckles abound. I wonder what the pot-growers need brass knuckles for... Do they come in handy milling seeds from buds? Are they necessary to keep stoners focused should they doze-off during a buy? Are they a measuring gauge used to fill bags? ...Or do growers wear them as jewelry, a symbol of the marijuana guild?

BRASS KNUCKLES--The common marijuana grower is also a pleasant peaceful person.which In turn means the person will not have an arsenal of weapons,knives,and bombs. They will accept the arrest without violence.They will do the punishment for their "crime".More than likely the Brass Knuckles were just found as part of the search and another charge to add to the raid..

Maybe there is a tendency for marijuana growers to also be into steampunk (lots of brass in steampunk), but just not have any skill in implementing steampunk well.
