For the second time in seven months, the Burns Police arrested the same man for growing psychedelic mushrooms in his home off Lime Kiln Road.

The suspect, Caleb Bishop, 21, was arrested March 26 and charged with manufacture and possession of controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. The most recent stash – about two dozen of the psychedelic mushrooms – was larger than the amount Bishop was arrested for Sept. 3 on the same charges.

The mushrooms are a Schedule I drug in Tennessee, the highest tier of prohibited drugs.

Burns Police Officer Tase Sturgill was the arresting officer in both instances.

Officers searched Bishop’s home on an outstanding warrant for possession of marijuana on March 26, Sturgill said. They found the stash of mushrooms growing in mason jars inside a large plastic storage bin.

Bishop pleaded guilty on Wednesday, and will serve his two 8-year sentences concurrently, said Burns Police Chief Bryan Johnson.

In September, Johnson said he's never heard of mushrooms being grown in Burns in this manner.

“You don't come across that very often, especially not in Burns,” he said.
 
I will sleep much better tonight knowing this scum is off the street.

I am assuming you are being sarcastic?

I really don't understand why mushrooms that grow in cow shit in many states in the US which you can just pick and eat are so illegal.

This is what the police choose to do with their time.
 
^yup.

must've run out of murderers, rapists, kiddie fiddlers, robbers, to catch.
great work guys, our streets are safe again from this type of pure evil criminal scum!
 
I can't believe he got 8 years for doing it originally.

This guy must have a criminal past we haven't heard about.
 
8 fucking years for growing a handful of mushrooms?!?!?! Meanwhile child molesters, rapists and repeat violent criminals are let out of prison early to make room for all of us evil non violent drug users

The so called "War on drugs" makes me SICK:X
 
Surely the victim had been given such a lengthy jail sentence for the prior possesion charge(cannabis)? Any one have any information about that? Maybe he had 50 pounds of cannabis?

If it was simply, that the victim was caged for possesion of a handful of mushrooms, well what a very sick state of affairs that is. Especially oweing to the age of the victim. Another victim of the U.S war on drugs. It seems 22'000 dead Mexicans ain't quite a big enough quota.

I'm all for being again the war on drugs, but that statement is so ridiculous... The government isn't to blame for cartels actions, it's greed.

And 8 years is ridiculous, I've contemplated growing mushys too but FUCK that.
