107 Pot Plants Removed From OP Home

Pot House Operation Busted

POSTED: Wednesday, March 4, 2009


ORANGE PARK, Fla. -- Clay County deputies recently arrested two people in a large pothouse raid, which authorities called one of the most sophisticated drug operations they've seen in years.
A heap of junk in the yard of a home on Rainey Avenue in Orange Park was all that was left of the large pot growing operation that deputies said was inside.
"I woke up and came out here and the cops were taking a whole bunch of marijuana plants out of the garage. I couldn’t tell you how many there were. They were ranging from two foot to six foot. All that stuff is all the growing system," said neighbor Shaw Keller.
Neighbors sat by and watched as the man and woman who lived in the home on Rainey Avenue home were taken out in handcuffs, accused of what running what investigators said was a fairly complex growing operation.
"Certainly the biggest one we've had this year. We've had bigger ones before … this was 107. The sophistication of this grow was well done," said Clay County Sheriff's Office Lt. Barry Abramowitz.
Investigators said operation was well ventilated and well lit with expensive equipment -- ventilation tubes along with pots to hold the 107 marijuana plants -- that's now just junk left for trash haulers to pick up in the front yard.
Abramowitz said based on the size of the plants suggest the growing operation has likely been set up for several months.
However, neighbors said traffic has been minimal at the home and they had no idea what was going on inside the garage.
Investigators said police "intelligence" led them to the house. The man and woman arrested are expected to felony charges depending on the weight of the confiscated plants.
