Instagram Pot Pics Lead To South Jersey Man's Arrest

A South Jersey man was so proud of his pot plants, he wanted to document their greatness on Instagram.

But there was one problem with that.

The law.

Connor Kennedy, 20, of Sicklerville was arrested on June 23 for growing marijuana plants at an abandoned lot after an investigation that was strengthened by the pot selfies on social media, the Courier-Post reported.

The investigation began when residents reported to Winslow Township police that they saw seven marijuana plants on the deck of an abandoned home on Brearly Drive, NBC10 said.

Police set up surveillance at the property, which depicted Kennedy coming to the property to tend to the plants, NBC10 said.

The investigation also revealed Kennedy posted “numerous” photos of himself and the plants on Instagram, the Courier-Post said.
