California Tire Dealer Growing Pot in His Store

Up in smoke...

Strange news stories coming out of California are nothing new. Take, for example, the fact that the Huffington Post keeps an entire blogroll of stories under the heading "Weird California," with headlines such as the following:

• "Woman Uses Fake Baby to Sneak into Maternity Ward"
• "Sailor Accused of Attacking Cab Driver with Didgeridoo"
• "Woman who Wasn't Dead Died Trying to Escape Morgue Freezer"
• "Mysterious Glowing Orb Emerges from Crashing UFO (at least, on Youtube)"

Although the weird stories coming out of California may not raise too many eyebrows these days -- it's California, after all--not many of these wacky stories deal directly with the tire industry. At least, not until now.

It was recently reported that one entrepreneurial California tire dealer was growing pot in his store. The discovery was made by authorities after fire and rescue crews responded to extinguish an after-hours fire and discovered hundreds of pot plants ablaze.

“It appears somebody was here at the time of the fire. When officers arrived, the front door was open, not just unlocked but opened, and there’s a bed in there next to where the fire was, so it looks like somebody was here at the time, so we’re searching for that owner,” Lt. Joe Gomez with the Fresno Police Department told media (Tire Review).

Apparently the fire was caused when the outlets used to light the plants overloaded.

While we certainly respect the tire dealer's entrepreneurial spirit, we think his or her business and personal future would have been better served by diversifying into legal business ventures.
