Man says marijuana grower booby-trapped plantsCHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- A Berkeley County man says he reached for marijuana and ended up with a handful of razor blades. Denver Dehaven is suing neighbor Jamie Jeans in Berkeley County Circuit Court for $150,000 for booby-trapping his own marijuana plants. According to the lawsuit, Dehaven's 4-year-old niece had stumbled onto a stash of pot at Jean's nearby residence. When Dehaven reported the find to a lawenforcement agency, he was told to pull the plants from the ground. But when Dehaven, 21, of Bunker Hill, went to grab the plants, he was severely cut by several razor blades that had been inserted into the stalks of the plants. "This is unlike any case that I've been involved in before," Dehaven's attorney, Michael Burke, said Wednesday. Burke said that although a land owner is not legally obligated to keep his property safe for trespassers, a person can be held responsible for setting a trap todeliberately injure a person. "The law draws a line on booby traps," Burke said. "He (Jones) went too far to protect his illegal enterprise." Dehaven, who works as a carpenter, is suing for medical expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering. Jeans, 34, was arrested and charged in August for cultivating marijuana. His case is pending.
