More Than 6,000 Marijuana Plants Discovered In A Modoc National Forest Canyon

Local authorities asked private citizens to help shovel out more than 6,000
marijuana plants found growing in a Modoc National Forest canyon.

The marijuana plants were found Friday the Devils Garden section of the
forest by Mike Crutcher, head of the Modoc County Drug Task Force, as he
flew overhead on a routine reconnaissance flight.

Some local businessmen pitched in to supply the manpower and equipment to
help the Modoc County Sheriffs Office, Bureau of Land Management and U.S.
Forest Service pull the plants up.

About 1,200 plants had already been harvested and the remaining plants were
mature and ready to harvest, police said.
