Tip Leads to Underground Pot Bust
Updated: Tuesday, 22 Dec 2009, 4:27 PM CST Published : Tuesday, 22 Dec 2009, 4:27 PM CST
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Memphis Police busted a marijuana growing operation tunneled underneath a residence near the University of Memphis Monday.
Investigators received a tip from a concerned citizen, and served a search warrant at a home on the 3400-block of Douglass Avenue, near Highland and Park.
Once inside the residence, officers discovered what they described as a "sophisticated marijuana growing operation" down a carpeted 50-foot tunnel which led underneath the home. Down the tunnel was a work room containing heaters, fertilizers, fans, lights and 30 marijuana plants, as well as 23 pounds of cultivated marijuana. The tunnel continued to two additional passageways behind the house.
The estimated street value of the marijuana is over $150,000.
Members of the MPD's Organized Crime Unit are still investigating the case. While no arrests have been made, investigators stated that charges are imminent.

lotsa my reefer comes from Tennessee but usually it's big outdoor operations getting busted
30 plants isn't that huge, but I guess 23 pounds is quite a bit of weed.

Wow,so sad. Im really lucky to live in Oakland,CA where I can buy 75 plants every dam day if I want, from a club that looks like bank inside. WE really need a national medi progam. 30 plants aint shit. The cops back east are fucking retards, they always act so proud of pot busts like if they just caught ol Escobar or somin.

street value seems high since it is worth nothing now.
-------------------- Alice I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!

those good old boys will sell it right back to the street and pimp their trucks.

Inflating the value lets them look big when they get together with the other cops and beat off to "Legends of the Highway Patrol" or whatever the new "Stormtroopers" reality cop show is that week.

you are all correct.
I live in TN.
It fucking sucks.
Cops are mostly just retired never made-it highschool foodball jocks. And they hate any different people, that aren't southern.
It might not apply everyone but roots run deep.
It's expensive and rare here, i'm sure a few people have their good, but overall it's hard to find and when it's brick.
F this state.

Sucks to be him, lol. I'm not one to complain about the police, though. I live on a third floor appartment (top floor) and they just busted a guy on the basement level running a meth cookup. I'm happy they took so much caution, and didn't bust his door down and rush in like normal because it kept me from going boom.

Only 30 plants and 23 pounds... sounds like he hasn't sold an ounce in the last 3-4 harvests to build up that much of a reserve. And that's assuming he's growing some pretty large plants. WTF?

I spent 10 days in jail in Tennessee for a pipe and about a bowl of reefer.
I agree with aspore. The cops down in the south will treat you different if your a good ol' country boy. I always change my accent and demeanor when I have to talk to them and, sadly enough, it works.

I call bullshit, if this were true I wouldn't be so acquainted with the back of a cop car.
They are out to get you.
I think they get rewards for drug arrests, or still have arrest quotas, in Alabama.

I wonder how many underground drug operations there are in the country. My favorite was the marijuana cave...
