CARTERSVILLE, Ga. (AP) — A Georgia man says drug suppression officers mistook his okra plants for marijuana.

Dwayne Perry of Cartersville tells WSB-TV (http://bit.ly/1rJ8LMq ) that he was awakened by a helicopter flying low over his house Wednesday and then some heavily-armed deputies and a K-9 unit showed up at his door. They were from the Governor's Task Force for drug suppression and they were out looking for marijuana plants.

What they had seen, apparently, were Perry's okra plants and a shrub at the end of his house.

Perry says the officers ended up apologizing to him.

Patrol Capt. Kermit Stokes says the plants did have characteristics similar to marijuana.

Perry says people keep asking him about the officers at his house, and he worries that his reputation has been damaged.

but they did! if it wasn't for them, you'd probably be smoking okra right now

It probably will damage his reputation, after all, if people find out you are growing that much Okra. what will they think?

I had some okra plants so big one year . They were 6 foot tall and i had to tie a chain around them and pull them out of ground with my trucks . They woulda have made fence post ,  really
