Elderly Couple Arrested At Gunpoint After Insurance Agent Reports Them For Drugs

A Pennsylvania couple is suing the local police department and their insurer after being arrested at gunpoint, handcuffed and stuck in the back of a police cruiser for hours — all because their insurance agent couldn’t tell the difference between landscaping and pot farming. The roots of the arrest stretch back to September, when a tree fell on to the side of Edward and Audrey Cramer’s house, damaging both the home and an antique garden tractor. When the couple’s insurance agent, Jonathan Yeamans, came to their home to assess the damage, he saw flowering hibiscus plants in their backyard and allegedly mistook them for marijuana.
