86 pot plants seized in police raid
By Josh Verges/Austin Daily Herald
Austin Police and the Southeastern Minnesota Narcotics Task Force recovered 86 marijuana plants valued at $20,000 Thursday from an Austin home.
Authorities executed a search warrant at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at 312 37th Street Southwest.
They smelled a strong odor of marijuana as they approached, Police Chief Paul Philipp said.
Inside the home were 86 plants of marijuana in various states of growth.
Eight ounces of processed marijuana was also recovered.
Police estimated the plants could produce 20 pounds of the drug.
Philipp said a pound of marijuana is worth approximately $1,000.
In addition to the cash and plants, police recovered grow lights, fans and electrical transformers from at least two rooms in the house.
Police first found out about the activity on Wednesday, Philipp said.
A 44-year-old man was arrested at the scene and $900 in cash was forfeited.
The man was cited and released, and will likely be charged with intent to distribute a controlled substance, Philipp said.
The man reportedly told police he was growing the marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Is this the Austin trailer park by the freeway?

Ya, you should do "the right thing" and buy it from a dealer.

Exactly. Use some damn discretion.
With the burgeoning meth problem, you can only expect more of this sort of thing.

Happened upon a raid at just before 7 this evening. The parties bought the house less than 2 mos. ago from a family friend. Drug dogs, lots of unmarked and marked cars over on Lynwood. Were taking out alot of stuff. A friend who lives down the street said there was constant activity there.:rock:

Thank God, get that nasty weed off the street before somebody kills someone or something...?!?
20 lbs of weed? Who freaking cares? Although 20lbs is a little much for "medicial" use.
