Defend home from thugs, go straight to jail

It's not the shooting, it's the marijuana plants in the house, according to this story in the Daily Herald.

A homeowner reacted in self-defense last week, fatally shooting one man and wounding another after the two broke into his Genoa home, police said.

Although the homeowner, Michael A. Mason, 32, won't face any charges in the shooting, he was jailed after Genoa police said they found 113 pounds of cannabis and more than $17,000 in his house.

Mason was arrested and charged by DeKalb County sheriff's police with possession of cannabis with the intent to deliver, police Sgt. Ty Lynch said.

Police continue to investigate the link between Mason and the two Schaumburg men, and haven't determined a motive for the break-in, Lynch said.
