Alan Boyce Cuts Down His Marijuana Plants After Orders From Sheriff's Detectives, September 1977 Photographer: Cecil Lockard
Year:
1977
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, August 31, 1977
Caption:
Alan Boyce is shown carrying a giant-size marijuana plant from his experimental garden near a cottage on North Lake in Dexter Township Friday. Boyce volunteered to cut down his crop after Sheriff's Detective Lt. Harold Owings Jr. and Detective William Mulholland appeared at his door. Boyce, who told officers he is a botanist, grows oversized vegetables through a special fertilizer he says he created. The marijuana plants towered over six-foot-high corn and nearby trees. A truck load of the illegal drug was carted from the North Lake site. Lt. Owings said he will confer with the county prosecutor but it does not appear Boyce can be charged. The officer said it would be difficult to prove Boyce intended to sell or use the marijuana.

AADL Talks to Doug Harvey
In this episode, former Washtenaw County Sheriff Doug Harvey shares his memories of the turbulent 1960s in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. He recalls some of the personal, political, and law enforcement challenges he encountered during his years as sheriff - from the 1966 UFO sightings and the South University Riots, to the Coed murders and the John Norman Collins case. He also responds to some of the controversy surrounding his reputation and he speaks candidly about the community leaders and colleagues he admired during these years - and those he did not.
