FLORENCE, S.C. – A Scranton man was arrested by Florence County Sheriff's deputies and charged with manufacturing marijuana after numerous marijuana plants were found on his residence.
According to a release from Maj. Mike Nunn, deputies on the Raptor I helicopter located the marijuana plants in a wooded area off Friendfield Road near Coward on Wednesday, Sept. 14.
http://www.scnow.com/news/article_66ce621e-7b8c-11e6-ad79-1f391e8068d9.html
Approximately 26 fully grown marijuana plants were discovered, some as tall as 12 feet and clearly visible from the air according to deputies.
"FCSO Narcotics deputies on the ground with the assistance of the FCSO PACE Team, FCSO K-9 Team and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) surrounded the location and secured the area," the release stated.
Based on the size and the quality of the plants, narcotics investigators estimated the street value at approximately $200,000.
Christopher Bryan Miles, 38, was taken into custody and transported to the Florence County Detention Center Wednesday evening. Miles released on a personal recognizance bond at 4:48 p.m. on Thursday.
Nunn said the investigation is ongoing and additional charges or arrests are possible.

26 big plants, $20 a gram (growers don't sell by the gram, but you know) yeah, it could be 200K

They probably are. Don't hate them because they're trying to make some money to feed their family. We do need police. Hate the politicians who put the laws in place.

those plants look terrible. they might've eeked out 1-1.25lbs per plant on the left few in the helicopter photo. the smaller ones on the right might've made .5-.75lbs/per.

It's more like 2400-18,000 bucks
You would have to be a fucking retard to think a marijuana grower is making above min wage

What?! no! Marijuana growers can make way above minimum wage! 
You just need to grow a lot and have a perpetual cycle and get down a good rhythm with your grow cycles. tons of people that grow weed are making more in a year than people that just work minimum wage jobs.
here's the math. Minimum wage is like 7-9$/hour with the exception of major cities like Seattle and San Francisco. work 6-8 hour days 5 days a week and thats 210-320$ without considering taxes. Which, only few growers in specific states have to pay, and admittedly we are talking illicit ganja grows.
we with no regard to tax someone working min wage makes about 840-1280 a month.
it takes 3-5 months to complete a full grow cycle. If you grow even just 30 plants and they yield .25-.5 IB each that is 7.5-15 pounds in 4 months. each pound can make 1200-2400$ depending on what region of the US you live in. so basically.
You could make around 4800-9600 in one grow cycle of 4 months without paying taxes. And You could make 3360-5120$ working a minimum wage job in that time and minus some from taxes.
Many growers have more than 30 plants growing at once, so you could make a hell of a lot more too. So therefor your statement is incorrect and you do not have to be a retard to think growers make more than minimum wage.
....however why not do both. growing isn't rocket science, let nature take its course. Part of me just thinks you said that because you are a grower and you don't want competition

here is what I want to know. The California Govt just decided that it was going after people with old traffic fines from long ago. So more statute of limitations. So thousands of people recently got fined for things they forgot they even owned for.
so here's my question, since they decided that weed should be legal, are they going to pardon all those people they wrongfully arrested and imprisoned?? Are they going to GIVE BACK the plants they unlawfully stole? Or will they just pony up the cash they claimed the plants were worth at the time of arrest?? Seems fair to me.
They arrest a guy with 50 plants, claim his crop is worth 2,000,000 bucks and throw him in jail with a stack of bogus charges the DA invented so he could seem like his law degree was worth the money...
then they decide the plant shouldn't be illegal. I feel like we owe it to the folks wrongfully persecuted. Give them their freedom and make recompense for property and businesses that ended the moment the law started smelling "free money" all over the place. And wouldnt it be sweet if the guys who trumped up the value of property or cannabis seized had to re-pay the farmer the exact amount they claimed his shit was worth??
reason for edit: add content. Fuck typos.

I commented on that article and a handful of people have liked my comment calling the cops scumbags 
I hope one of them reads that article feeling all proud then looks at the comments... Not surprisingly some dumb ass SC people are thankful...
