Christopher Grossman
Being a slob isn't necessarily illegal, but it's what happened next that got Grossman in trouble: A sergeant who arrived at the scene asked to see the inside of his home to make sure that the boy's living conditions were safer than his car seat, and Grossman, stupidly, led them to his Bethpage home. Police say the residence—besides being deplorably filthy—was also being used as a marijuana grow house. Cops found 18 marijuana plants and an elaborate lighting and ventilation system in a room. Also, there was a marijuana pipe on a desk and four stems of a marijuana plant on the kitchen table.
The place really was a disaster, too; Fox has some footage and photos of the interior. Grossman was arrested and charged with first-degree criminal possession of marijuana, endangering the welfare of a child and unlawful dealing with a child. The boy is now staying with relatives who are hopefully less slovenly/stoned/stupid.

alright kids here's the lesson: if you grow, don't smoke and if you smoke, don't grow.
Well said.
That house did not look livable. He should have been arrested regardless of the plants.
Yeah, there is more going on in that guys head, than just smoking pot.
Grossman, ha.
This has been a banner day for ironic surnames in the news.
the most hilarious thing is he drove the cops 4 miles to his house.

Class act dumbass. Feel sorry for the poor bastard that volunteered to copulate with this filthy slut.
Looks like he's an even worse DJ than he is a father. What a fuck up.
That's not very many plants. That's like personal use for this guy, prolly.
And they look like shit. Grower/Fail, Daddy/Fail, DJ/Fail,and since no one has posted comments to his MySpace photos, Feedback Loop/Fail.
Picky, picky.
I find it unfair and totally in bad taste to arrest George's Carlin's son so soon after his death. The kid was just waiting for the final papers to come though and he would have gotten someone to clean up the place a bit and put in higher intensity lights for his organic gardening experiment.
people, you're not getting the whole story. the cop was being nosy. un-tidiness is not a crime! what business does a cop have looking out for the welfare of this child? was the kid being badly beaten? was he abandoned? NO! He was with his father, who happened to be a pig (an insult to pigs)!
what country am i living in these days!?
What business does a cop have looking out for the welfare of this child?
Isn't that kind of part of every cops' job -- to look out for the welfare of kids? Especially 5-year-olds hanging out in parking lots at midnight with hobo-looking stoners? The cop couldn't have knows this guy was the kid's father when he first approached. And once he saw what was going on he was completely right to ask to see the house. Dad isn't just a slob, he was growing quantity and kept a house that was a dangerous environment for the child. So now the kid's living with relatives and dad will go away for a while. Good job cop!
The lesson here is that you should never let the cops into your house without a warrant.
I really don't know, but maybe someone can clarify; if they have probable cause, do they even need a warrant?
They usually need a warrant to assure that any evidence collected will be admissable in court. But that officer had the consent of this perp to inspect that house. The pot was pure probable cause on a stick, no warrant necessary.
