Investigators Seize $10M
In Marijuana Plants
August 5, 2008 - 10tv.com
NEW LEXINGTON, Ohio —
Investigators announced on Tuesday that more than 6,000 marijuana
plants were found in the woods
in Perry County last week.
The plants were discovered by a helicopter spotter during marijuana
eradication efforts in Perry
County on Friday, according to the Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
"When our pilot and our spotter went over it, our spotter started
trembling because he'd never
seen anything like it," said BCI agent Scott Duff.
The high-grade cannabis plants found off Number Eight Hollow Road have
a possible street value
as high as $10 million, 10TV's Glenn McEntyre reported.
Investigators said it is one of the biggest drug busts in Ohio in
decades, and is a sign that
international drug cartels are moving in.
"This is a trend currently ongoing on the west coast and it seems to be
moving in our
direction," said Ben Cossuchio of BCI. "The Mexican organizations are
actually coming here and
establishing these plots, large plots."
The people who grew the plants actually lived among them, investigators
said.
"There was a plastic covered kitchen area and two areas they
established as sleeping quarters,"
said Perry County Sheriff's Lt. Ed Miller. "Had their food, water and
supplies kept all right
there."
While the proceeds from the operation would have gone back to Mexico,
the product would have
been sold in Ohio, McEntyre reported.
"We've taken and put a hurt on these people," said Perry County Sheriff
William Barker. "We've
taken quite a quantity out of Perry County that could end up in the
hands of kids in your
neighborhoods."
Investigators do not believe the owners of the land had any knowledge
of or involvement with the
operation.

I remember being in DARE when i was much younger and some of the stories they would tell you are not only ridiculous, but completely untrue. One story was that a woman was on LSD and thought her infant was a turkey so she baked it in the oven. Now I look back and think thats hilarious, but at the time I guess it scared me.
