Pot photos lead to arrest

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) For those who say pot destroys brain cells, five guys
in Amherst have added more weight to the case.

A pharmacy manager was looking over a customer's film when he noticed what
appeared to be several men posing, and smiling, in front of marijuana plants.

He called police, who used the photos to obtain a search warrant of the
customer's home and found 10 plants inside. All five occupants of the
apartment were charged with drug possession and intent to distribute
marijuana.

The pharmacy where the photos were spotted, CVS, did not return a telephone
call seeking comment. But some questioned whether a manager should act as an
arm of the law.

A spokesman for the Photo Marketing Association, which represents photo
retailers and processors, said the pharmacy went too far.

``We like to be moral people and all, and make sure to try and stop crime,
but it's not the photo finisher's job to do that,'' Bill Lewis said.
