To the editor:

Shame on you and your headline writer. An article by Jessie Stensland titled “Clinton man sentenced in connection with marijuana grow operation” is actually about a person growing medical marijuana and sentenced only because his prescription expired. From the headline I expected this article to be about a drug dealer. You do a disservice to your readers when the headline does not fit the story.
