Janesville - A Janesville woman who told police the marijuana growing
in her house was a "gardening experiment" was sentenced Thursday to
one month in jail.

Catherine Jesuit, 44, was also placed on probation for three years
after pleading no contest to a charge of manufacturing marijuana.

Police searched Jesuit's home in August after they received a tip
about drug use in the home. They found marijuana plants drying in the
kitchen, packaged marijuana in a cabinet and a marijuana garden in
Jesuit's closet, according to the criminal complaint.

When officers found 16 marijuana plants, some as tall as 31/2 feet,
Jesuit said, "it was an experiment. It was stupid and it was my fault.
I am just a gardener," the complaint says.
