A raid in Okmulgee County led to the seizure of marijuana, guns and cash.
An organized crimes task force made the bust at a suspected illegal marijuana grow. Agents confiscated more than 1,200 pounds of processed pot and more than 3,000 plants, along with 3 guns and $25,000 in cash.
Agencies collaborating with the Attorney General's Organized Crime Task Force included the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority, Okmulgee County Sheriff’s Office, the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office, the Oklahoma National Guard Civil Support Team and the Department of Homeland Security.
Attorney General Gentner Drummond said the operation demonstrates how the Organized Crime Task Force is partnering with local law enforcement agencies to drive out the bad actors who are operating illegal grows across Oklahoma.
“We are continuing to send the message to drug cartels and crime syndicates that they need to get out of our state,” Drummond said. “We will continue to crack down on illegal grow facilities until they have all been shut down.”
