A search of the residence revealed 51 pounds of processed marijuana bud. Outside the residence deputies located 221 marijuana plants being grown and 941 marijuana plants being grown in four greenhouses. The plants ranged in size from 6” to 5’. The deputies also located packaging material, scales and other evidence indicating the marijuana was being grown for sale. Deputies issued Waterman and Laursen notices to appear in court for cultivation and possession for sale of marijuana. Deputies also located information revealing a third suspect and are seeking an arrest warrant for that male suspect through the Humboldt County District Attorneys Office.
