Teen Puts His Pot Plants Up On MySpace - Busted

SHEBOYGAN -- A Sheboygan teen is learning the hard way that posting pictures of your potted marijuana plants on MySpace.com is a bad idea.

Labeling that picture, “My Mary Jane thats growin in my closet right now” also doesn’t help, unless you count the time raiding police officers saved in locating the stash.

But according to Sheboygan County District Attorney Joe DeCecco, that’s why Moua Yang, 18, was charged today with two felonies and two misdemeanors following a police raid of his south-side apartment.

“When someone is going to advertise their drug use — or any other crime for that matter — on a Web site, chance are we’re going to find it, and this is what’s going to happen,” DeCecco said. “We appreciate the help. Thanks a lot.”

Yang was arrested Monday after police found three potted marijuana plants in a basement closet that matched the online picture, according to a criminal complaint.

Yang was identified after a school resource officer at South High School identified him as a former student there.

Still on Yang’s MySpace Web site as of this afternoon were pictures of a bong commonly used to smoke marijuana — labeled “my baby” — and numerous pictures of Yang and his friends drinking beer and flashing gang signs at parties.

The identifying quote at the top of Yang’s MySpace page is, “I need that Kali Chronic,” slang for marijuana.

“People think that Web sites are more private than they are,” DeCecco said. “This is just another tool for us to use.”

Police found out about Yang’s alleged drug use through his postings on another Web site monitored by police for gang-related activity, according to a criminal complaint.
