"Slow and steady, turtle solves marijuana case
A Park Police spokesman, Sergeant Robert Lachance, said Thursday that investigators covertly watched the marijuana patch from time to time until the alleged grower, a Montgomery County, Md., man, showed up to tend to the plants.
The suspect, Isiah Johnson, 19, of Chevy Chase, Md., was arrested Wednesday and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
An investigator, speaking on the condition of anonymity yesterday because the case is unresolved, described Johnson as a college student with no arrest record before Wednesday.
In terms of criminal history, "he's a nothing, a nobody," the investigator said, adding that Johnson seemed frightened and "was very, very cooperative" during a police interview.
Johnson was in a Montgomery County jail Thursday night awaiting transfer to Washington for a court appearance."
