The plants found today range from 12-20 inches tall. If left to mature, the Sheriff´s Department estimates that the marijuana would have a street value of several million dollars.

There were no suspects or weapons located. Based on evidence found at the scene, the Sheriff´s Department believes that it was the work of a Mexican Drug Trafficking Organization.
