Last Friday 06-22-07 law enforcement officials on the other side of the river in Calaveras County made a bui discovery that resulted in Deputies from the Calaveras County Narcotic Enforcement Unit and Federal Agents from the Bureau Of Land Management serving a search warrant onto land located near Highway 26 in the Mokelumne River Canyon. Deputies discovered and then removed over 3600 marijuana plants from the area, and had observed one Hispanic male adult running from the area during the investigation. It is believed that several persons had been living inside of the Marijuana Garden. Although the marijuana plants were not fully grown, it is believed that the plants were being tended to on a daily basis. If each plant had been allowed to grow until maturity, each plant could have produced over 2,500 lbs of marijuana, which would have resulted in a crop valued at over 9 million dollars.
