What an idiot, with his " green Thumb, " he could have grown tomatoes and sold them for Fifty Cents each and made money

Try growing tomatoes with loca water redtrictions and no rain!

Grow weed in your house, you'll get years in prison. Plunder the country as a banker and you get a bonus...

wow this makes the news , its weed ,

Went to school with this kid, he was pretty nice in middle school, sad to see him like this now..

Y dont they leve the weed alone and wrry bout the meth and heroin thats killin people instead of wasting time on a plant that kust makes u wanna eat alot

you arrest this kid for a plant that only leads to munchies, c'mon people legalize this already. Itz not a gateway drug to other drugs itz a plant , you want to know who the real criminals are itz the people that eat bath salts, make meth, shot heroin, etc..... and your bustin balls of a plant. Wat a waste of time and money. Fight the war on criminals not a plant Legalize already and stop this nonsense. When you have a family member on their deathbed and the doctor suggest that a plant would help ease the pain hope you don't turn it down. This won't help nothing because people have it embedded in their minds that its a gateway drug the only thing that its a gateway to is the refrigerator.

I agree with the last 2 posts :) legalize!

Keep up the good work kid!! Remember to make seeds.They will never stop us!!

Don't legalize. Decriminalize. Once marijuana is legal. That gives the corporations the power to take over. And take it away from the hands of the people. It's illegal to grow your own tobacco. But you can buy them at the store. But the little man doesn't get anything.

I'm sure the evidence in this case will "mysteriously" disappear from the police evidence room. Poor kid...shame on the police for busting a 17 year old year KID for something that is legal medicinally in some states. He should be praised for figuring out how to grow such large plants indoors. Legalize pot already and stop ruining bright kid's like this one's lives.

Where are this kid's parental units? How did this go unnoticed?

Realy this is worth paying corrections officer and exposing him to the jail system?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHH thats helllllllla geek. that used to be my homeboy. good thing i stopped kickin it with him! omg im laughin so hard right now-Twitch

Damn, Flood, you're one crazy dude. Next time you get you're freedom back, stay outta trouble! I remember the middle school flood who kicked me out of his house for being stoned. Wouldn't have guessed it 5 years ago!

this is adam flood. i was released from st charles county today and came home to find a news report on me. and one that wasnt even accurate. i never said i planned on distributing any of the plants found in my house. so either the police lied in their report or the fox 2 news likes to embellish their stories. and the plants were 6 feet tall, at least give me the credit i deserve. would of been a good batch of medicine too. one love!

god gave man every seed he may bear. and the government does not have the right to regulate private matters. especially one thats nonviolent. its against my constitutional rights. george washington and thomas jefferson grew marijuana. they didnt go to jail. and thanks for putting my address on the web.

come do an interview. not one on the marijuana, but the one where st. charles county police feels its okay to lie to incriminate good decent people in order to make money for the county and climb the police chain. wheres the justice. its all about money and of course the upper middle class population of this county who run all this businesses and control everything dont mind. most prisons are privately owned, people are making profit putting people in prison. good job st charles, good job missouri, and good job america

Then need to legalize the plant..I rather see him growing the jane rather than meth. It helps many people in our world. I have major spinal cord damage and by time I purchase all the pharmaceutical meds that do nothing for my pain, but I am out close to a 1G a month that could have gone to food, bills of other sorts. I know if I was to have the jane in my life I would be eating more and not sleeping as much. To get rid of my pain I force myself to sleep constantly. If you smoke cigarettes your addicted to the tar and nicotine with the jane your going to relax and chill out. So tired of our government taking our free will away but if you all enjoy others telling you want to then get that 666 chip in your arm when they force it on you. Let us live our life!

Why would our system waste time busting in a very genuine man's door for making a fair living. it is not like he is raping and murdering innocent people somewhere in the city to fill his pockets with a little extra cash. Only side effects of the 'drug'-hungry, happy, sleepy-enough said. Safer than buying a round of shots for your friends at the bar, and much better on your liver. All I have to say about this situation is, get real st. charleS!

I personally would rather my tax dollars be spent finding the punks who stole all of my Target bags out of my car at Kohl's. How many of my future tax dollars will have to go to support this kid who didn't hurt anyone, because he will have a record and be unable to pass a background check for a decent job now? No winners here, nothing accomplished.... destroyed future of a young man, lots of wasted time and money, and the little &*%$# who stole my Target bags are probably still stealing. Seriously punks, wth do you want with the Aveeno facescrub that I saved coupons for and waited patiently to go on sale? You threw it all in a dumpster, didn't you?

Its a quiet neighborhood, there are kids who drive their bikes and scooters up and down the street all day long. There are also Teenagers who zip around the corner driving as fast as they can, then slam on the brakes, run inside and get stoned, then speed away. One of these days one of them is going to take that corner too hard and wipe out an eight year old.
If you only got busted with the pot then I'd say you got off easy, because they didn't find the rest of it! But don't worry, as soon as you get out of jail, your going to go right back to the same old stupid habits and every St. Charles County Police Officer who knows your name will be looking for you. Until then, hopefully the neighborhood will be a little quieter.

Hey Concerned neighbor, don't presume to know what goes on in other people's houses when there are plenty of adult with children within a block of Adam that get so drunk that they slur and speak before they think on a regular basis. And where are all the responsible teens and young adults in that same neighborhood? You don't notice us because we don't drive like lunatics. I'd also like to take a moment to grin at your attitude, the quiet, concerned neighbor who just hopes it all gets sorted out. Firstly, it means you aren't doing anything. You are sitting back and looking for an opportunity to say "I told you so." so you can keep believably calling yourself a mature adult. What you are doing is sitting on the side line making judgments about people you never took the time to know personally, and that sounds like highschool. The American system has managed to keep your attitude in highschool, congrats, you are what is wrong with the country.

I just want to know how his parents didn't know this was going on under their noses,,,,if they were to lose their home to the forfeiture law, more of them would sit up and take notice!!!!!!!

We support you Adam! Fight this all the way. Request a jury trial and try to get jury nullification.

We support you, Adam. Fight this all the way. Request a jury trial and go for jury nullification.

The police (pirates) just want to control the monopoly on drug trafficking. Look up "Mena Arkansas Cocaine" "fbi la drugs gunderson"

Mr or Mrs Dicks,
I am whats wrong with America? your absolutely right, I'm sure it has nothing to do with unemployed dropout punks growing pot in their mothers house. But, go ahead and blame this on "police injustice" if it makes you all feel better, they will only give you so many second chances until they are forced to do something about it.

I still believe that he should have grown tomatoes.

I'd just like to remind everyone here to follow the terms of service: http://stpeters.patch.com/terms

No profanity, real or masked, no threats, no attacks—just be a civil person.

Let me try this in a different way since my last post was blocked for some unknown reason: "Who knows what goes on behind closed doors! Get used to this folks! St. Peters has allowed two tattoo parlor businesses to open and we all know what that brings to town!" The parents have been accused of not being aware of what this kid was doing but they may have been busy with their own "projects". Parents can be distracted too you know or maybe he told them it was a big "Tomato Plant"! :)

just added comments from Adam Flood to the article. I wanted to be fair to him, especially since he says he did not say he planned to distribute marijuana as detectives said on the probable cause statement.

to the concerned neighbor. not one have you guys have ever taken the time to say hi or even wave to me as i passed. your gunna post on here anonymously, but still try to get the fact across your a neighbor. b the way, i graduated high school, i have a job, and im no punk. odds are you are one of the adults who gets drunk 3 to 4 times a week in their driveway like the 4 houses on my street that do it. then go drive around. and your gunna talk about what im doing in my home? do me a favor, come to my house so this isnt anonymous, and well talk it out and come to an understanding.

Adam....just the amount you have will prove intent to distribute. Find something more productive to do. Whether you like it or not it IS illegal. That makes you a criminal.

Hey, who cares what it was? Kid was smart on what he said... Plants are plants! Very smart... And, you all must be very bored to get so hyped up over this kinda crap!

Not sure where all of these concerned individuls live... But, for real.. You all do have homes and/or a garage/back deck... USE THEM. We for sure enjoy ourselves after a long day, but, I don't need to see everyone night after night "garage party"... I was afraid to move to St. Peters/St. Chuck because of that sterotype- but, you've lived up to it!

I worked with the adam he was there everyday and did his job , who cares if he smoke a little bit of weed 90 percent of the world smokes weed

Adam, I was in Quest Day Treatment with you for awhile. And I support you all the way man.

Adam was just a really trippy kid. A really good, polite kid. And he doesnt deserve this.

Wow... Calm down there... Oompa... You must have way too much time on your hands!

My time is no ones concern but mine! I protect my property and family! Do not tred on me and my rights!:/

I have to assume that 'as a teenager living at home', he may have been living with parents/parent??? Did they think he was growing a 5 foot,sterile tomato plant ????

Yes! BLTs for every one. Hurry, the tomato season here is about finished! :)

"I admitted the plants were mine, but I never said I planned on distributing or selling anything—whether it was tomatoes or basil or whatever I get from those plants," Flood said.

Just so you know, Adam.
You can't get tomatoes and basil from pot plants.

Legit man canada is where it is at we don't allow people like that to live here and if someway they get in ... haha they regret it :)

Thats bull he waz doing every thing leagel according to california helth and safty code 11362.5 its was indoor locked away. And Adam when joe posted u probably@ someone off...sorry joe drunks are always pissed and and some drunk concerned neighbor is probablythe one who pointed the finger. i say grow,smoke,eat,drink whatever you want to do with it its all natural. And never blows up, u never od and it smells so good. but for people like adam or for people like me who had tumors don't ever let someone tell u its bad for u move to california and grow up to 90 plants A yea. indoor buy weed from stores or just get it delivered at ur door then screw canada cali is where its at. ADAM how much trouble did u get in?

Why let the whole state of california do it then go and bust a kid for doing what at least 1. Million people are doing legally free country huh?
