Indian Mound, Tenn.–A search warrant executed by the Stewart County Sheriff’s Office, TBI and the 23rd Judicial Task Force uncovered the largest marijuana grow in the county’s history on Thursday November 30th.
Information from neighbors, traffic stops by deputies and other investigation during the past three weeks led to a search warrant being obtained for 1758 Hwy.46 in Indian Mound. The location was a former church.
Sheriff Frankie Gray said approximately 2000 plants were found in a very sophisticated growing environment, including elaborated growing and watering systems all on timers. A large amount of possibly toxic chemicals were found.
Deputies were slowed down in the search by the possibility of booby traps laid out for law enforcement.
One person is in custody and others are wanted for questioning. The investigation and clean up is still on going.
