ICYMI: Famous potato chip company issues apology as ex-director gets busted for growing over $30K worth of weed — via TheGrowthOp
Although chips and cannabis are often considered the ultimate combination, the pairing resulted in a patently unchill situation involving both an arrest and a PR snafu.
“Following media coverage relating to the Keogh’s family business and the reporting of the unlicensed cannabis cultivation of a family member, Keogh’s farm would like to confirm that this has occurred and communicate the full details of the situation,” the company posted on Twitter on Saturday. “Unbeknownst to the Keogh business, Tony who officially retired from the family farm business in 2019, had been researching medical cannabis production around the world following the move by the Irish government to legalise medical cannabis last year,” the post continues.
Upon his arrest, Keogh admitted that the plants were his. He was charged with possession, possession of drugs for unlawful sale or supply, and for the prohibition of cultivation of a cannabis plant. He appeared in Dublin District Court the same day.
