Police find pot-growing operation in home of Minneapolis officer for Republican Party


Mark Fox

A Republican Party officer in Minneapolis for a state Senate district has been charged with growing nearly two dozen marijuana plants in his Northeast home.

Mark S. Fox, 50, was charged this week in Hennepin County District Court with two felony drug counts in connection with police seizing 23 marijuana plants, nearly a pound of marijuana and several guns from his home in the 2700 block of Pierce Street NE.

Fox was arrested Monday at his home, posted bond and was scheduled to appear in court Thursday afternoon.

Fox is currently the treasurer for the Republican Party’s Senate District 60, which includes northeast Minneapolis, the University of Minnesota and other neighboring communities.

There might be something to it.

but I'm frequently told that I look 10-15 years younger than my actual age. My hair is still brown and hardly receded. I can still wear the same blue jeans from 25-30 years ago and the only workout that I during that time was lifting the bong.

I was still being carded when I purchased alcohol when I was 35. I think that getting high is what kept me thinking young and also looking young. It also helped that I never had any children so that alleviated a lot of stress.

Trouble is I'm a little late to the party so. I'll have to wait 20 years to happy when someone tells me I don't look a day over 60 (or so).
