SHEBOYGAN -- A Sheboygan teen is learning the hard way that posting pictures of your potted marijuana plants on MySpace.com is a bad idea.

Labeling that picture, ?My Mary Jane thats growin in my closet right now? also doesn?t help, unless you count the time raiding police officers saved in locating the stash.

But according to Sheboygan County District Attorney Joe DeCecco, that?s why Moua Yang, 18, was charged today with two felonies and two misdemeanors following a police raid of his south-side apartment.

?When someone is going to advertise their drug use ? or any other crime for that matter ? on a Web site, chance are we?re going to find it, and this is what?s going to happen,? DeCecco said. ?We appreciate the help. Thanks a lot.?

Yang was arrested Monday after police found three potted marijuana plants in a basement closet that matched the online picture, according to a criminal complaint.

Yang was identified after a school resource officer at South High School identified him as a former student there.

Still on Yang?s MySpace Web site as of this afternoon were pictures of a bong commonly used to smoke marijuana ? labeled ?my baby? ? and numerous pictures of Yang and his friends drinking beer and flashing gang signs at parties.

The identifying quote at the top of Yang?s MySpace page is, ?I need that Kali Chronic,? slang for marijuana.

?People think that Web sites are more private than they are,? DeCecco said. ?This is just another tool for us to use.?

Police found out about Yang?s alleged drug use through his postings on another Web site monitored by police for gang-related activity, according to a criminal complaint.

On that site, one that allows users to set up profile pages for others to view, Yang posted pictures of numerous weapons and drug paraphernalia and brags about having marijuana plants growing in his house and using Ecstasy, the complaint said.

?The officers were surprised about how brazen they were on the Internet,? said Lt. Dave Schafhauser of the Sheboygan Police Department, referring to Yang and others pictured or mentioned on his site. ?They talked about their growing of the marijuana and some of the gang activity they were involved in.?

The picture of the potted marijuana plants is also posted on the gang-related site, the complaint said.

Yang faces up to three years and seven months behind bars and fines up to $21,500 if convicted on charges of felony charges of manufacturing marijuana and maintaining a drug trafficking place, and misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

:roll: This country is retarded.

You're only pro-weed because you can be exiled from Mendocino County if you're not. ;) Are the hemp guys in their speedos still carrying their signs on the street corners in the summer?

:D

Among other reasons, yes. I most likely wouldn't smoke it even if it was legal. But at least it would stop the illegal growing operations in the forests...

Edit

It's gang-related.

I'm sorry, I missed this part of the article. I only read the beginning and end ;)

It's gang-related. You know how many people die over drug money? It's bullsh1t.

there wouldn't be ppl dying over drug money if drugs were legal...

Myspacers are not known for their intelligence, just their pathetic blogs, suicide notes, and general degradation of themselves and their participant ilk.

If this is the closest we can get for arresting people for being stupid, then I'll take it.

QFT!

Anyone else notice, that these myspace addicts, are probably also AOL users? I have evidence to confirm this. I have relatives who are avid myspace posters, and all of them are on AOL.

So totally true. SWIM is high on opies right now, and tried pot for the first time (SWIM is not new to drugs in general) last week. Aside from a little pain in the lungs cause SWIM actually held it in too long, it was great. SWIM can't wait to mix the above two.
