Watauga Police seized more than seven pounds of marijuana valued at more than $30,000 Wednesday afternoon and arrested one man after authorities responded to a 911 hang-up at a house, authorities said.
Staff Writer Domingo Ramirez reported that police met with a woman who had minor swelling to her lower lip and appeared upset when she answered the door to a house in the 6600 block of Harrison Way.
She said everything was OK, but police suspected domestic violence. They subsequently arrested Philip Jamerino, 19, (right) who had been hiding in a bedroom closet.
They also found the marijuana, including a pound of specially grown HYDRO pot.

What a joke. 7 pounds is worth about 4000 dollars. Even if it was all "hydro" (you don't need to capitalize it, wordsmith, it isn't an acronym), it wouldn't be worth that much.
Stop the stenography. Do some research.

A 911 hangup is what got a household of Katrina evacuees busted for running a meth lab. Your vices can quickly become your demise. Hiding in a closet...geesh.

This guy was hitting his 17 years old girl friend, who also has a one years old baby with him, over a text message she found on his phone. She threatned to call the cops to get him to leave her alone, he however knocked the phone out of her hands and it called 911. The cops came and not only did they find drugs there was a loaded gun laying on the bed.

All drug charges were dropped because this was an illegal search and seizure.
