The end of the pot ladder story
Former Metroblogger Erin mentioned in the comments of this story that the saga of the pot-growing man with the contentious ladder had come to a sad end, with the alleged horticulturist apparently losing it, setting fire to his home, shooting at police and finally attempting to take his own life. It’s a sad end to a weird tale, but I take some small comfort from the fact that nobody was hurt other than the man himself.
Where does it say he shot at police?
Erin, who lives a couple of doors down from the guy, mentioned it in the comments on our earlier entry.
