Indiana state troopers found thousands of marijuana plants growing in a wooded swampy area of Kosciusko County which included two residential areas and a Girl Scout camp. The majority of the plants (around 5,000) were found on a "remote" part of the 220-acre Camp Ella J. Logan Girl Scout Camp. Sherri Weidman, Chief Executive of the Limberlost Girl Scout Council said the area was "only accessible by wading through muck or taking a canoe" and that camp employees were "dismayed" when they heard the news. Three residents were arrested and taken to court attorney-less last Monday with charges of possession and intent to distribute.
