POT ERADICATION UP THIS YEAR

Spotters Spent More Time in Air

Extra time in the air by spotters helped authorities destroy more marijuana growing outdoors in Kentucky this year than in more than a decade.

Police cut and burned 557,276 plants this year, up nearly 50,000 from 2005 and the most since 1995.  Arrests also were up: 475 in 2006 compared with 452 in 2005.
