According to the National Enquirer, "Malakar's American-born mother, Jillian Blyth, was busted in Pierce County, Wash., in February 2005 after neighbors reported smelling marijuana and noticed a large vent on the garage roof, according to court records obtained exclusively by The Enquirer.
Cops discovered 310 marijuana plants, growing lights and Sanjaya's then 17-year-old sister, Shyamali!
Shyamali told officers that her mom was at another location in nearby Federal Way, Washington, and when the cops got there, they found a second marijuana-growing operation!"She's very lucky," said a local law enforcement source. "The judge obviously went easy on her because of her kids and the fact that she had no prior record."
Blith could've gone to jail for up to five years after pleading guilty to one felony count of unlawful manufacturing of a controlled substance, but got off with a relatively mellow 30-day sentence. So, basically, she got 1 day jail time for every pound of pot grown! She is one lucky lady.
Oh & BTW, on American Idol tonight, guess who got sent home? The answer is NO ONE! The powers that be, decided that since this was the ultimate CHEESE FEST, that everyone was safe. All 6 Idols will be back for next week's show and they then will send two Idols on their way.
