Tom Stienstra doesn't want you to know that he was arrested for growing weed

First of all he was never arrested or booked.
Second, They were not his plants in the barn
Third,  he pretty much had his reputation and life completely screwed by a out of control sheriffs dept. who had no case.
Tom Stienstra is an incredibly nice man who didn't deserve to have this happen to him.
He has been one of my best friends for years and he would do anything to help me if I needed it. Anything.
So it's fun to beat him up over this and when you don't know the story it's easy to believe anything you read or hear.
Leave him alone.
Tom
ps I have been fishing with him tons of times and it is a great time.

Was the barn his?  If so, why did he let someone grow weed in it?  Good way to lose your property whether or not it was his weed.
