Jonathan Adler, a non-partisan candidate for mayor in next year's elections, confirmed that he was arrested Thursday at his home in Puna when police executing a search warrant found 55 marijuana plants there.
Adler was released without charges. He commented , "It's getting from prosecution to persecution." He is already facing charges for 89 marijuana plants that were found growing outside his house last year.Adler says he uses marijuana for medical purposes and has a right to supply it to other people because he is a minister in the Religion of Jesus church, which advocates marijuana usage. Adler accused police of maiming his pit bull dog during Thursday's raid. On returning home from the arrest, he found the dog with a broken back and paralyzed in its hind quarters, he said.Vice Section Lt. Henry Tavares said his men found six to eight dogs at Adler's house, but all were chained up, gave officers no trouble, and were not injured by officers.He said Adler's complaint is being investigated as a cruelty to animals case.
