Le Roy man accused of growing marijuana in his yard

By Howard B. Owens

A Le Roy man is accused of growing a small quanity of marijuana on his property in the Village of Le Roy.

David Alan Leach, 47, of 24 Munson Ave., is charged with criminal possession of marijuana and unlawfully growing cannabis.

The initial investigation was conducted by Det. John Condidorio, who followed up on a tip that an individual in the village was growing marijuana.

The Genesee County Local Drug Enforcement Task Force assisted in the investigation and helped obtain and execute a search warrant, along with the deputies from the Sheriff's office and the Batavia Police BET team.

Leach was issued an appearance ticket and ordered to appear Le Roy Town Court on Aug. 10.

Your tax dollars at work. They had a big raid in Travis County Texas several years ago (less than 10) involving a SWAT Team with lots of threats and guns and a helicopter landing in a backyard that had lots and lots of Ragweed growing wild. The County paid out pretty good on that lawsuit and the Sheriff didn't run for re-election. A spiteful neighbor provided the "tip".

Good piece of work the for the bureaucrat's, now I feel safe walking the streets of Leroy. The best would have been if they were able to catch somebody holding there cell phone will they were driving then I would feel perfectly safe.

I wonder if in the City of Batavia which would be worse? Actually growing and possessing pot, or the how tall the "weed" was and being fined $250 by the new property rules?

I feel for this guy. If he'd been brewing beer or alcohol, he'd be fine and clear. I'm surprised that the town of Leroy doesn't have surprise garden inspections.
