My best guess is that they were checking up on it in the field on a daily schedule. One day they went looking for it and found it in the middle of said field. Sadly, regardless of where you are, such a crime can get you charged on both the state level and a federal level. DC laws as follows; Cultivation Or Sale, Any amount felony, Time up to 5 years, Fine of up to $50,000. Within 1000 feet of school or other specified area felony, double time penalty, double fine penalty. Federal; Sale or Cultivation Less than 50 kg felony 5 years $250,000 50 to 100 kg felony 20 years $1,000,000 100 to 1,000 kg felony 5 - 40 years $2,000,000 1000 kg or more felony 10 years - life $4,000,000 To a minor felony double penalty double penalty Within 1,000 feet of a school, or other specified areas felony double penalty double penalty So yeah, this dude is done.

Too bad about the plants.. I bet they got dug up and salted. Still, kind of silly to grow illegal plants on government land... -_- I know if I was that park ranger, I would've thanked the turtle and not called a damn soul. Too bad about the plants..
