Porterville police confiscate 100 pounds of marijuana

Porterville Police Department detectives made a major bust Tuesday morning, preventing between 80 and 100 pounds of marijuana and a half pound of peyote from reaching the streets.

At about 7:30 a.m., detectives with Porterville's Special Investigations Unit served a search warrant in the 2000 block of West La Vida Avenue. The warrant was obtained after a two-and-a-half-week investigation into suspected drug sales.

During a search of the home, officers reportedly found between 80 to 100 pounds of marijuana. Police said the marijuana was packaged for sale and had an estimated street value of $150,000.

Detectives also reportedly located packaging materials, pipes, scales and other narcotics paraphernalia.

Sgt. Jake Castellow called the bust the largest seizure of marijuana within the City of Porterville in about a year.

Even more unusual than the large quantity of marijuana was a half pound of the controlled substance peyote, also seized from the residence.

Peyote is a cactus that produces small buttons which can cause hallucinations when ingested.

“I've been in law enforcement 12 years and this is the first time I've seized peyote,” Castellow said.

No occupants of the residence on West La Vida Avenue were home at the time of the search and no suspects had been arrested in connection with this case.

Police were seeking several subjects, Castellow said.

Based on their investigation, authorities said they believe suspects were selling the drugs from the residence.
