Remember, Andrew Willenbring: Location, location, location!
There have got to be safer places to cultivate marijuana than in Broomfield. Cops there are among the most aggressive in the state when it comes to busting weed grows. Note that the late March arrest of Brian Joseph Strick was the fourth pot-cultivation bust there over a 45-day span.

Oh yeah: Broomfield is also the community that threw Erick Schmuckal in jail for serving as a medical-marijuana patient and caregiver -- which he's licensed by the state of Colorado to do -- while on probation.

These reports apparently didn't reach Andrew Willenbring, 35, who was busted on Wednesday after the North Metro Drug Task Force discovered 396 marijuana plants in his home.
