Potter Actor Pleads Guilty to Growing Pot

Jamie Waylett Pleads Guilty to Growing Marajuana

Jamie Waylett, who plays Vincent Crabbe in the Harry Potter movies, appeared in a London court this past Thursday to plead guilty to charges of producing cannabis.

Waylett… was originally busted in April after police searched a car he was riding in and discovered eight bags of marijuana and a knife. Police then raided his mother’s home and found 10 marijuana plants. The cannabis was reportedly worth approximately $2,900 and was growing under hydroponic lights, next to a PlayStation console.

Along with a friend, the 19-year-old Waylett pleaded guilty to growing the drug at a hearing at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 14 years. Judge Timothy Workman announced that the two men would be sentenced Tuesday.

And bloggers all over the world struggle to put together all manner of pot / potter word puns.

The reports in the Associated Press didn’t say anything about it, but shouldn’t his mother be held responsible in some way? I find it hard to believe that he was growing pot in his mother’s house and she knew nothing about it.
