POLICE STUMBLE UPON MARIJUANA STACK

LINWOOD, July 16 Three suspects were arrested Thursday for allegedly
shooting a man and trying to steal a half-ton of marijuana from him,
sheriff's officials reported.

The unidentified man, who was listed in good condition, will be booked for
possession of marijuana to sell when he is ready to be released from the
hospital, said Deputy Joan Raber.

Deputies went to 3266 Burton Ave. in Lynwood about 10 a.m. in response to a
'shots fired' call, Raber said. A helicopter crew that arrived earlier
spotted three men running from the house, she said.

When deputies got to the residence, they found the man with a single
gunshot wound to his arm. The three suspects were later detained, along
with their handguns, Raber said.

Deputies found marijuana throughout the house and in a truck in the
driveway, she said. Another suspect apparently got away, she said.
