Man busted after calling 911 to ask about growing pot

Robert Michelson, 21, of Farmington, Connecticut, called 911 to inquire about the possible legal consequences of growing a marijuana plant. He's now been charged with marijuana possession and "other crimes," according to the AP:
Farmington police say a dispatcher told... Michelson on Thursday night that he could get arrested for growing pot, and Michelson said thank you and hung up.

Officers went to Michelson's house and seized a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Michelson has admitted he bought seeds and equipment for growing.
