A 7-foot tall marijuana plant grew in plain sight on a busy street all summer long until police finally figured it out and destroyed it.

"'I don't know if somebody was watering this thing every day or what was going on, but it was a nice-looking marijuana plant,' [the Orem cop] says.

"He doesn't think it got to be 7 feet tall because people were intentionally turning a blind eye to the pot in their midst."
