GPS cyborg turtle busts marijuana growers

An American turtle indigenous to Maryland's Rock Creek Park and with a GPS unit soldered to his shell has gone nark, busting an entire marijuana growing operation.

You might call him a pint-sized crime fighter. A box turtle equipped with GPS helps police nab a suspect growing marijuana in Rock Creek Park. Just south of the DC/Maryland line, a turtle wearing a GPS device for research purposes makes an amazing discovery.
"The ranger in charge of the program discovered the turtle in the middle of a marijuana field," Sgt. Robert Lachance of the U.S. Park Police says...

Leading to the reporter's wry observation: "Growing marijuana on U.S. park land is never a good idea." The 19-year-old culprit was arrested and will be extradited back to D.C. to face charges. Quoth the arresting officer: "He felt like he had a layer of security, but he probably never counted on a turtle with a tracking device leading us to that location and finding the field." Showing that even criminal masterminds often overlook the most obvious foil to their dastardly schemes.
