Marijuana arrests reestablish Broomfield as CO's grow-bust leader: Suck it, Boulder County!
This week, discovery of a 3,000-plus plant marijuana grow in Boulder County was followed by the uprooting of a nearby 4,000-plant grow.

Did Broomfield authorities take these seizures as a challenge to their reputation for marijuana-grow arrests? Maybe -- because today brings yet another one, accompanied by arrests of Joseph Walters, Jason Tye and Tandy McDaniel.
The August arrest of Johnny Jones for marijuana cultivation was hardly an isolated incident. As we noted in that post, Broomfield cops, typically assisted by officers from the North Metro Task Force, have busted one marijuana grow after another after another.
Moreover, the Broomfield City Council recently voted to ban medical marijuana businesses in the community. Advocates responded with an MMJ petition drive to put the question on the November ballot, and they succeeded, as noted in a recent interview with Sensible Colorado's Brian Vicente.
Meanwhile, Boulder County commissioners declined to challenge a land-use department ruling okaying a plan for a marijuana farm.
Think that'd fly in Broomfield? Doubt it.
Look below (and page down) to see photos of Tye, McDaniel and Walters, as well as a release from the Broomfield Police Department:
