Sheriff deputies arrested three men working at an illegal marijuana cultivation operation and seized close to 200 lbs. of black-market marijuana nearly two years after the property first raised suspicions.
Upon executing a search warrant on Friday, Jan. 21 at the property in the 43000 block of U.S. 160 east of Trinidad, deputies seized 159.2 lbs. of dried marijuana with an estimated value of approximately $191,000 — or $1,200 per pound, according to court record. It also eradicated approximately $87,000 in illegal unprocessed plants.
