Supply Center Closed
In addition, the agents shut
down what they believe to be a
major supply center for the entire
Eastern United States, a small farm
west of Crozet. There the agents
discovered four marijuana plants
cleverly hidden about the farm.
The agents pulled these plants out
by the roots and burned them.
One of the three men arrested
by the agents, Dr. Johnson,
swears he used to teach at the medical
school but a spokesman for
the Medical School claimed that
neither he nor anyone else had
ever heard of the man. Some of
Dr. Johnson's medical students
still remember him.
One of them, Gray Mitchell,
was arrested in Mechanicsville by
local police two days after the
Charlottesville trio were trapped.
He was stepping off a streetcar
carrying ten shopping bags full of
groceries. In his shirt pocket there
were some marijuana cigarettes.
