Sanjaya’s Mom Busted With 310 Marijuana Plants

Sanjaya Malakar’s mother was busted by the authorities after they discovered over 310 marijuana plants growing in the garage! TMZ has also noted that big sis Shyamali was at the scene when police arrived, smoking a joint and keeping watch over the grow.

The Momjaya was pinched by the Feds in February 2005 in Pierce County, Wash. after they found 310 marijuana plants — and the Sis-jaya keeping watch with a bag of weed and “smoking devices” — in the Malakar family garage, as the National Enquirer first smoked out today.

But — buzzkill — Shyamali, who was arrested for possession, directed the cops to another green-growing facility nearby, where they arrested Blith and her husband, Charles Quist (Sanjaya’s stepdad). Quist’s mugshot, obtained by TMZ, bears a striking resemblance to Gary Sinise, a very blitzed Gary Sinise. (We’re told there’s a mugshot of Shyamali, but it can’t be made public because she was only 17 at the time of the bust.) 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.

I’m surprised she got off so light — 310 plants is A LOT for only 30 days in jail.
