Suspect in 'execution' of four Chinese nationals at marijuana farm in Oklahoma arrested

Source: Yahoo

The suspect behind a quadruple homicide inside a marijuana farm in Oklahoma was arrested in Florida and is now facing extradition to Oklahoma.

State law enforcement said the man, identified as Wu Chen, 45, was arrested before 4 p.m. on Tuesday after an automated vehicle registration plate reader tagged his car in the Miami Beach area, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) announced on Facebook.

The incident occurred at a cannabis grow operation in Kingfisher County, Oklahoma, on Sunday. Authorities said Chen entered the property around 5:45 p.m. and spent a significant amount of time inside the marijuana plantation before executing the victims.

Authorities said "several employees” were present with the four victims — three men and a woman — when they arrived at the scene. A fifth victim was reportedly injured from the incident and was flown to a hospital.

3. Well, there are so many, it's just hard to keep up

OK is having a serious problem with illegal grow operations and this isn't going to make things any better.

I would be very interested to find out where these people were going to sell their crop. It sounds like classic organized crime.

5. my immediate suspicion as well

(based on a number of 'unusual' factors). But I guess it would behoove us all to wait until we get some real info/facts.

8. News to me that Oklahoma has weed farms?

Indiana slipping farther and farther behind, and some of the best farmland in the country is here.

4. Wow!!!!

First I've heard of this.
Guess we've become so used of this that it no longer classifies as important news.

This is what the radical gun lobby has foisted upon us.

7. Though it apparently has a license

“It being a marijuana farm, obviously Oklahoma state law requires that they have a license from the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority and from us,” Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics spokesman Mark Woodward said.

“One of the things we’re looking at is, is it obtained legally or was it obtained by fraud? So that’ll be part of our investigation.”

Meanwhile, Porsha Riley, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority, told the Associated Press that there is an active license for a medical marijuana farm business in the location of the crime.
