Lawyer gets reprimand for pot crop
The Post-Tribune reports:
A Merrillville personal injury lawyer was publically reprimanded by the Indiana Supreme Court for growing more than 30 grams of marijuana in his Center Township home.
J. Robert Vegter, of 189 Woodside Lane, Sylvan Manor, pleaded guilty in December to a misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana, receiving a one-year sentence with all time suspended except time already served while he was booked at the Porter County Jail.
The lawyer, known for his full-page advertisement on the back of the Gary yellow pages, had a hydroponic marijuana-growing operation in his home.
