ROCHESTER HILLS – A 40-year-old woman was arrested on charges she grew marijuana in her home after being tipped off to Oakland County Sheriff ’s deputies by her 19-year-old daughter.



“I give her a lot of credit,” Oakland County Undersheriff Michael McCabe said. “She is trying to get her mom help and it’s good to see some

kids today have a moral compass.”



It was about 4 p.m. Sunday when deputies Kerry Campbell and Eric Shimmell were dispatched to a home on Warrington Road, south of Hamlin Road and east of Livernois Road. The daughter had called 911, accusing her mother, Christina Consolo, of growing the marijuana in the living room of their home.



The deputies were let into the home by the daughter and reported seeing a 6-foot marijuana plant growing in the house, according to reports.



Consolo, who owns the home, consented to a search and made statements about growing the marijuana in the home, deputies said.



Dried marijuana hanging in the basement, a digital scale, packing material, a marijuana grinder and marijuana pipes were also found, deputies said.



Two handguns and a shotgun were confiscated from the home, as well.



Deputies say Consolo was released at the scene and the marijuana is at the sheriff ’s forensic lab for analysis.



Possible charges are pending as investigators await results of the forensic lab to determine if the case will be presented to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office for a warrant review.



Consolo has stated in a televised report the marijuana was for medicinal purposes, managing pain for a back injury she sustained.



She also admitted to not yet obtaining a license to legally have possession of medical marijuana.

Like what sort of relationship would you have to have to call The State in on your own mother, instead of dealing with it yourself? This is one backward society.

Good job, you've ruined your mother's life, probably for the rest of her existence.  What a blessing children are rofl!!

I'm never ever going to have a child.  All they do is drag you down and f**k you over! TRUTH!!!

I don't know, I've never seen ANYTHING as mean spirited and vindictive as a hormonal teenage girl

Go look at those kids in the 1984 version of 1984. That's what's coming.

I hear you, but the reason they are like that is because they have been trained to be so through generations of socialism and nanny-statism.

How does this help her mom? Her mom is going to jail.

It doesn't help her mom,but that isn't where her mind is at.Her mind is, it's ilegal, and instead of using critical thinking(which her public school could not and would not provide)she thinks"mom uses pot so must be a druggie,druggies are bad sick people. Maybe she thought destroying her mom would help.Backwards thinking and when some of us adults have tried to break these patterns ourchildren are taken for reprogramming(why do you think CPS has been so active the past 30 years?).The poster who said they didnt want kids may be right but for the wrong reasons. Have kids- but for God's sake teach them to THINK before they are 10.Homeschool is the only cure for such backwardsness I can think of.
I had no choice but to use public education but I went through every little thing my kids were learning. A big effort that most parents can't or wont make.Come to think of it,if her mom had done so, she may not have been arrested.
I have 2 grown kids,they were taught listen to it all, then think and ask questions of it all.Then what makes sense?
BTW-Teenage girls are so played by the media the past few generations it isn't even funny.Almost too much of a barrage for even the most vigilant parent.I've seen CPS go after a good family that banned playstations,ect....said the children were deprived of a *normal* childhood.
