Heidi doesn't have a license to grow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cops say ... in total, they found 392 suspected marijuana plants -- which were all collected as evidence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fleiss was charged with several crimes -- including possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a home where drugs are sold/used. &amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, cops say Fleiss was NOT arrested ... \"due to the fact that she has approximately $200,000 worth of exotic birds in the residence plus she gave us consent to search without a warrant and was very cooperative throughout the investigation.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class=\"lightbox-link\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2009/05/26/1891-whatcha-smokin/\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0807-whatcha-smokin-footer-1\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/08/08/0807-whatcha-smokin-footer-3.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
