BREAKING
NEWS...
Over 900 marijuana plants
destroyed
At approximately 3:00 p.m. on May 6
the Appling County Sheriff's Office received a call from a Georgia
State Patrol helicopter that he had spotted some marijuana in
a wooded area off Piney Grove Church Road. The patrol units that
were dispatched to the scene confirmed the find. Personnel from
the Governor's Drug Task Force, Wayne County Deputies, Georgia
Game and Fish Department, Altamaha Drug Task Force, Drug Enforcement
Agency, Georgia State Patrol and the Appling County Sheriff's
Office were involved in the operation. Approximately 933 plants
were found and destroyed. Other evidence such as pots, buckets
and fertilizer was taken to Savannah by D.E.A. agents to be processed.
The D.E.A. estimated that if the plants had grown to full potential
the street value would have been $1,800,000,000. No arrests have
been made at this time.
