🚨 BODYCAM FOOTAGE: Raid on Medical Cannabis Home Grow – South Dakota Police Call Hemp Seedlings “Marijuana Plants” Raw footage from the March 2023 raid on Darrell Bennett Jr.’s (Darrell Bennett II) residence in Mitchell, South Dakota. Officers executed a search warrant and seized what they claimed were 28 “marijuana plants” growing in the basement — along with packaging materials and extraction equipment. These plants were later proven to be hemp seedlings with only 0.0970% delta-9 THC (well under the 0.3% legal hemp limit). Despite the plants being legal hemp, prosecutors presented them to a grand jury as illegal marijuana plants, securing multiple felony indictments for manufacturing and distribution. What the Video Shows Police entry and search of the home Discovery of the basement garden, vegetables and all. Seizure of the hemp seedlings that were later re-labeled as “marijuana plants” Case Outcome Darrell, a medical marijuana card holder, and co-defendant Aaron Cooper fought the charges by proving the plants were hemp and raising a medical purpose defense. But the case was rigged from the beginning in Mitchell,SD. This case highlights how South Dakota law enforcement and prosecutors treated legal hemp seedlings as felony marijuana — and how a grand jury was used to rubber-stamp those charges before the science caught up.
