Concerned citizens pointed Oakland police to 10 pot plants being grown next to Great Oak Park near the end of Spruce Street, Lt. Christian Eldridge told CLIFFVIEW PILOT shortly after the Aug. 28 arrest.

Seen tending to the plants on surveillance video was Rory Dooley, 58, Eldridge said.

The grand jury charged Dooley with marijuana possession and distribution within 1,000 feet of a school and 500 feet of a public park.

He remained free on $75,000 bail today.
