GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Deputies didn't have to go far to find this marijuana: It was growing right outside their Green Bay headquarters.
Green Bay television station WLUK-TV reported Tuesday that it received a tip and alerted the Brown County Sheriff's Department about the pot in a planter on the south side of the courthouse.
Chief Deputy John Gossage wasn't sure of the plants' identity, but a drug officer confirmed the presence of marijuana.
"Obviously, as a prank, somebody planted this or dropped some seeds into the plants," Gossage said.
The drug officer pulled the six small plants, which were to be destroyed.
"It's a good thing it was brought to our attention because someone may have realized what it was and could've taken it and used it," Gossage said.
