Federal agents bust Myrtle Creek couple for marijuana

MYRTLE CREEK — Federal agents arrested a Myrtle Creek couple last week in connection with a local investigation into their alleged large-scale marijuana growing operation.

Local law enforcement officers had arrested the pair in December after allegedly finding more than 90 pounds of marijuana bud at their 812 Old Pacific Highway North home, according to a Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team press release.

On Thursday, Drug Enforcement Administration agents arrested John Lee Nelson Jr., 51, at his home on federal charges, finding an additional 86 marijuana plants and two pounds of processed marijuana, according to the press release.

The federal charges include conspiracy to manufacture and deliver marijuana. Nelson’s wife, Delores June Nelson, 53, turned herself in later in the day and was arrested on suspicion of the same federal charges.

On Dec. 4, local officers served a search warrant at the home after DINT arranged through an informant to purchase 50 pounds of marijuana bud for $125,000 from the Nelsons, according to DINT. Along with the 90 pounds of bud, officers found scales, more than $800 in cash, two .45-caliber revolvers and a rifle.

DINT Commander Lt. Curt Strickland said that bud had been harvested from two large grows on the property earlier in the year. Many of the plants seized Thursday were starters.

“His big grows are going to be during the outdoor grow season,” Strickland said.

The Nelsons were initially charged with the unlawful possession, manufacturing and delivery of marijuana. Those state charges will be dismissed in lieu of the federal charges.

The pair had been released on bail.

The Nelsons have been proponents of medical marijuana in Douglas County. DINT found evidence that John Nelson headed an organization called “Medical Marijuana Fellowship,” under the guise of helping medical marijuana card holders.

In reality, according to DINT, Nelson was selling large quantities of marijuana for substantial amounts of money.

Should of got a clue 125,000 for 50lbs. That's pricy as fuck like 2500 a pound. Even if it was some hydro when purchasing 50lbs it should have been a lot cheaper. The police will pay extraordinary prices just so they can make the purchase. What does it matter to them they get all of your drugs, house, car and all the money including what they gave you back. Not to mention fines and license plate labor in prison.
