Mercer County man arrested for growing pot on church property

GROVE CITY, Pennsylvania - The Mercer County man arrested and charged with growing marijuana on church's property in Grove City says he had no idea who the land belonged to.

Pennsylvania State Police arrested 28-year-old Jason Como on Saturday after the Beloved Disciples Church reported that two suspected marijuana plants were growing on their property.

Como says he's a Christian and that he wouldn't have planted the pot there if he'd known the land belonged to a church.

Como also says it was for personal use.

Authorities found a small path that led from the plants to the backyard of a nearby home.
