Grandma Says She Was Tricked Into Growing Pot By Bearded Stranger

A southwestern Pennsylvania grandmother says she's no marijuana
grower, just a woman who wanted something that would look pretty next to
her tomatoes.

A Fayette County jury cleared 67-year-old Alberta Kelley of drug
possession and manufacture charges on Wednesday after she told them she
simply tossed a handful of seeds into her garden after a bearded
stranger gave them to her.


Connellsville police charged Kelley a year ago after receiving a tip
about Kelley's garden. Investigators say they found seven
well-cultivated, four-foot marijuana plants behind her home.


But Kelley claimed she didn't know what she was growing. She said
she'd been given the seeds by a stranger in a pointy hat who told her
they were flower seeds.


Kelley tells WTAE-TV that to her, "weeds are weeds."
