Illinois man and 4 others accused of growing marijuana in apartment above flower shop, house

ALTON, Ill. (AP) — A florist is accused of cultivating the wrong kind of potted plant.
Police and federal authorities said they found marijuana and growing equipment in an apartment above Kinzel Flower Shop while responding to a tip. At a house across the street owned by Jeffrey Izard, 52, they found more marijuana and growing equipment.
Madison County prosecutors on Wednesday charged Izard with possessing marijuana with intent to deliver. Izard says he made ”a foolish mistake“ and that he’s generally been a good, law-abiding citizen.
Also facing the same charges are Izard’s three children and a tenant of Izard’s. All are free on $15,000 bond.
