3News – There are limits to being a crime victim, as a woman who called Saginaw County, Michigan sheriff’s deputies to report the theft of marijuana found out.

Detective Sgt Randy F Pfau said the 54-year-old woman was arrested early Sunday after reporting two men had broken into her home in Brant Township, 130km north-northwest of Detroit.

Pfau said the woman told deputies the men fled after one of them demanded her marijuana plants. He said the woman then was booked on charges of manufacturing and delivering marijuana.

Pfau told The Saginaw News the woman claimed the drug was for personal use but didn’t possess a medical marijuana card. He said police will seek charges pending test results on the marijuana they did confiscate.

Hiller’s Markets Inc. will stop selling cigarettes at it seven Metro Detroit stores to protect the health of its customers, the Southfield-based company announced this morning.

CEO Jim Hiller said the decision was a difficult one. He said that although he wants to provide customers with a variety of items, smoking is an unhealthy habit and it’s in the best interest of customers for the company to stop selling cigarettes.

“I’ve agonized over this decision,” he said. “My personal beliefs are intertwined with my business ethos and to continue to sell cigarettes runs contrary to my personal commitment to this community and its future.”
