Police shut down marijuana site

COBLESKILL -- After a monthlong investigation into suspected illegal marijuana-growing operations in three neighboring counties, State Police seized sizable amounts of the drug at a makeshift processing facility during raids conducted Tuesday night.

The probe was conducted by three State Police units and focused on marijuana growing fields in Schoharie, Otsego and Albany counties.

After executing a search warrant at 1 Goodfellow Lane in Cobleskill, Schoharie County, investigators confiscated more than 100 pounds of marijuana in various processing stages, said State Police Lt. Michael Tietz, who heads the Community Narcotics Enforcement Team.

Arrested were Seth Herrick, 47, of 118 Hilgert Parkway, and William Price, 49, of 344 Rickard Hill Road, both in Schoharie. They were each charged with a felony count of first-degree criminal possession of marijuana and growing of cannabis by unlicensed persons, a state Public Health Law violation.

Police found much of the pot packaged in 20 plastic 54-gallon storage bins and about 10 plastic 30-gallon bins. The remainder was on drying racks, Tietz said.

Fields in Schoharie, Otsego and Albany counties were used to grow the illegal crop, Tietz said. He described the Goodfellow Lane location as a four- or five-stall garage used for drying, processing and packaging the marijuana for sale once it was harvested.

Tietz said the operation specialized in commercial-grade marijuana, which is sold to lower-income buyers and young kids. It goes for about $1,200 or $1,800-a-pound on the street, he said. A conservative estimate of the entire seized amount is $120,000 to $180,000, Tietz said.

The more discerning smoker prefers hydroponic marijuana, that which is grown indoors and in water and is of a much higher grade, Tietz said.

The suspects were arraigned in Cobleskill Town Court Tuesday night and sent to the Schoharie County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bond. A jail official said Wednesday that Herrick was still being held, but Price was no longer there.
