CARTERSVILLE, Ga. —A Georgia man says drug suppression officers mistook his okra plants for marijuana. Watch the report Dwayne Perry, of Cartersville, told WSB-TV that he was awakened by a helicopter flying low over his house Wednesday and then some heavily-armed deputies and a K-9 unit showed up at his door. They were from the Governors Task Force for Drug Suppression and they were out looking for marijuana plants. What they had seen, apparently, were Perrys okra plants and a shrub at the end of his house. Perry says the officers ended up apologizing to him. Patrol Capt. Kermit Stokes says the plants did have characteristics similar to marijuana. Perry says people keep asking him about the officers at his house, and he worries that his reputation has been damaged
