WHAT TO DO . . . ST-EUGENE - When a Plantagenet woman went berry picking last year, she came across an illegal crop -- a marijuana plot. "We called the police, but there was no satisfactory resolution," her husband said at a meeting on all-terrain vehicles last Wednesday in St-Eugene. "Two ladies in a car arrived but they didn't want to get out." Prescott County Ontario Provincial Police detachment commander Inspector Joffre Dupuis conceded, "It is a difficult situation to control and enforce," adding that police are short on resources. "We are woefully equipped," he told the meeting, relating that the detachment is hoping to acquire two all-terrain vehicles. "We can't be everywhere all the time." Citizens who come across pot-growing operations should be wary of booby traps. "And in some cases, razor blades have been hidden in the stalks so officers have cut their hands when they tried to remove the plants," said Dupuis. A special drug eradication unit handles most such seizures. "Call us. If you can, get a licence plate number," suggested Dupuis. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
