Over this past week, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s personnel located and arrested 12 suspects. Investigators seized 23,002 marijuana plants, 791 pounds of processed marijuana, 15 guns, and over $45,000.00 in cash. Investigators eradicated a total of 89 greenhouses found at these locations and four indoor grow locations.

The investigations revealed the cannabis cultivations were not in compliance with California’s Medical and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) and San Bernardino County’s ordinance prohibiting Commercial Cannabis Activity. San Bernardino County has a law prohibiting Commercial Cannabis Activity, which includes growing marijuana plants outdoors.

The Sheriff’s Gangs/Narcotics Division will continue to enforce California’s cannabis laws and San Bernardino County’s ordinance regarding cannabis cultivation and distribution. Persons found guilty of violating the state law and county ordinance are subject to fines, prosecution, and seizure of property.

Property owners who are growing marijuana or are aware their tenants are growing marijuana on their properties in violation of the state law and local ordinances may also be subject to civil or criminal sanctions. Property owners are encouraged to contact their local law enforcement or code compliance agency to confirm if cultivating cannabis is prohibited or allowed under specific regulations.

The suspects were cited or booked on charges of Cultivation of Cannabis, over six plants, Possession for Sales of Marijuana, Illegal Water Discharge, Possession of an Unregistered Firearm, and Conspiracy.


Interesting that only 3 of those arrested were locals, regardless it is good to see the laws enforced.

2. Some of the 15 guns seized from your friendly grower. They don't think the war is over, do they?

3. It is legal in California

The fact is that when cannabis was legalized it means that the growers have to follow all the laws, get the proper permits and follow local zoning laws, just like every other business these people choose not to do that. For some reason many liberals hear pot farms are being taken down and jump in to defend the growers and ignore the environmental damage the water theft for over 1000 grows with does to the fragile desert water table in a drought, it is sad these people put getting high over the environment.
