Two arrested in marijuana growing operation
On Friday morning, deputies assigned to the Kern County Sheriff's Office Major Violator Unit served a search warrant near Cane Creek, West of Wofford Heights, on U.S. Forest Service property. The Deputies were assisted by a U.S. Forest Agent, two Special Agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and Deputies assigned to the KCSO Gang Suppression Special Investigation Unit. The Deputies and Agents located a large Marijuana garden divided into several small plots. Some of the Marijuana plants were in excess of eight feet tall. Deputies located and arrested a suspect, Camillo Villasenor, age 29, of Temecula. Villasenor was found asleep in a a small cavern beneath a large boulder which was located in the main Marijuana garden. A loaded .22 caliber semi-automatic pistol was located next to Villasenor. A second suspect, Efren Mondragon-Villa, age 19, was confronted on a footpath in the garden. Mondragon-Villa, fled and escaped into the forest. Deputies then eradicated 3158 Marijuana plants from the gardens. Due to the remoteness of the area, the eradicated Marijuana was flown out using Sheriff Department helicopters. The Deputies and suspect were flown out of the garden. 14 comments from 10 users

Aren't their rapists, murderers, and child molestors that need to be arrested. After all these people have been arrested and our officers are sitting around twiddling their thumbs, then waste time and money going after "outlaw gardeners." posted by

Was that million dollar Huey helicopter used on this? How many times has that very expensive piece of machinery actually been used btw? posted by

Michelle, I've been on vacation. I'm glad to be back in my home and in my normal climes again, too, I gotta tell you ! By the way you guys, we've only spent about 25 billion on this sort of thing ( marijuana smokers and eaters ) this year - you know, it's for public safety and stuff like that. --virgil posted by

WHY DO THEY WASTE ALL THIS TAX MONEY ON THIS BUSTING OF MARIJAUNA GROWERS?? MAYBE THEY COULD FIND THE SHOOTERS ,ROBBERS,RAPEIST AND VIOLATERS OF MORE HORRIBLE CRIMES. THESE THINGS NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF,NOT MARIJAUNA GROWERS!!! IF IT WAS LEGAL,OUR STATE WOULDNT BE IN THIS MESS WE ARE IN,THE TAX MONEY FROM IT WOULD BE OF VERY GOOD USE, THEN MAYBE OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT WOULD GET BACK TO SOLVING REAL CRIMES AND WE JUST MIGHT FEEL ALOT SAFER!!!!!
