A massive marijuana plant growing in plain sight on a busy street all summer long?

Orem Police Sgt. Craig Martinez says there's no doubt what the plant was: pot, obviously.

The plant flourished on the curb near 1350 West and 130 South, not far from Center Street and Interstate 15. It reached 7 feet tall before anyone called police to report what they saw.

"We pulled it out and destroyed it. There's really - you know, you can't really gather any evidence as far as there, to see a footprint or something possibly or talk to some of the businesses, but we weren't able to find out who was growing that plant," Martinez says.

Martinez says eventually someone did call, and the plant was removed earlier this month.

He described the plant as healthy.

"I don't know if somebody was watering this thing every day or what was going on, but it was a nice-looking marijuana plant," he says.

He doesn't think it got to be 7 feet tall because people were intentionally turning a blind eye to the pot in their midst.

"I think it was just a case of people driving by, thinking it was just a nice, big, green bush," he says.
