MANITOU BEACH, Mich. — Edwin and Linda Schmieding’s home now lies deserted.
A closed gate blocks entrance to the 23-acre farm’s waist-high grass. The farm has been unoccupied since Mr. Schmieding, 62, and his wife were arrested in a June, 2011 drug raid at the property by law enforcement officers, a raid that yielded more than 8,000 marijuana plants.
Mr. Schmieding pleaded guilty March 12 in U.S. District Court in Detroit to manufacturing with intent to distribute marijuana. Mrs. Schmieding’s charges were dismissed May 8.
Mr. Schmieding will likely lose his farm, said his attorney, Sanford Schulman. He will also be on probation for two years and is now a registered convicted felon.
