A drug bust a year in the making netted 409 pounds of marijuana Wednesday, said Lt. Ronald Muxlow of the St. Clair County Drug Task Force.
The task force stopped a pickup truck pulling a utility trailer at about 2:45 p.m. on Wadhams road near Ponderosa Drive in Clyde Township. Officers had already witnessed the drugs being loaded into the trailer, Muxlow said.
He said the task force has been receiving information leading to the bust since January 2008.
The marijuana is estimated to be worth $1,280,000, based on street value per quarter ounce, Sheriff Tim Donnellon said at a press conference Thursday.
“This is the largest marijuana bust we’ve had in the history of the Drug Task Force,” he said.
He said the price would likely be lower per quarter ounce if sold in bulk.
“Once it gets into the town, it gets smaller and smaller and smaller,” he said.
After arresting a 66-year-old Kimball Township man and a 24-year-old Port Huron man during the traffic stop, the task force conducted two search warrants: one at a home on the 5000 block of Walker Road, where they arrested the 67-year-old male home-owner, and another at the 66-year-old’s home on the 700 block of Scott Road.
The Port Huron Police Department assisted in the search with a police dog.
In addition to the drugs, the task force also seized $35,000 in U.S. currency.
Drug-related items were seized, along with 16 long guns and four hand guns.
Several vehicles were also seized, including two pickup trucks, a 1948 Plymouth show car, a 1961 Fiat, a 2006 Harley Davidson motorcycle, a Honda dirt bike and an Arctic Cat 800 snowmobile.
Some items, including guns, had serial numbers filed off. The snowmobile was stolen, Muxlow said.
He said a truck and a fifth-wheel trailer with a hidden compartment were used to transport the tightly-packed marijuana from Arizona.
The investigation is continuing.
“Through our interviews, we know there are other subjects involved,” Muxlow said.
He said the task force will seek drug forfeiture on the property, estimated to be worth $150,000.
The three men who were arrested have been held at the St. Clair County Jail. They are expected to be arraigned today on charges of maintaining a drug house, possession of stolen property, and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver over 45 kilograms.
The charges could be modified by the prosecutor’s office, Donnellon said. The marijuana charge alone could carry a 15-year sentence, he said, adding that the suspects might be charged federally, which could carry a more severe penalty.

Oh man, hell yes.......a federal case would end their lives...except for 24 year old.......he might get out when he is a senior citizen.
Well, there was some famous gangster who did only about 15 years for making millions of of smack........I don't think the feds take it any easier on weed

fuck those guys they were dealing schwag anyway. Michigan has plenty of Kind bud no need to bring that shit around..
stupid people like this help give marijuana a bad name, especially at a point like we're at in michigan where marijuana law is trying to change
it's a shame that two guys are gonna spend years in prison for a harmless plant. they probably wouldn't have been dealing in schwag if it was just legal in the first place.

ask any white 20 something with long hair, michigan is full of them... at least it's that easy in Grand Rapids, Ann arbor, Lansing, traverse city, petosky, battle creek, kalamazoo, etc..
here in G.R. right now, there's some medi pot from medocino county califaornia, some local grown strawberry cough and some White widow. plus there's always an excess of beasters and outdoor california both of which are really consistent and nice.
i learned a while back it's not only where to look for drugs, but how to pick them out in a crowd once you find someplace to look.
even if everybody i know is out (hasn't happened in a long time) i could walk into almost any bar (not shithole bar, i'm talking microbreweries & live music show bars) and score some dank. if a white guy is 20 something with dreads chances are he can help you (kinda stereotypical but VERY true). strike up a conversation then casually ask about it after a while.
if you can't find dank bud near a city in michigan you're not trying. and if you can't find dank out in the boonies either A) grow some (michigan has a great outdoor season) or you could B) take the hour drive to the nearest city and find some. i can't think of a time i haven't had success within an hour at a bar anywhere in michigan.
it really is that simple
