At sunrise last Thursday, officials from DPS, DPS CID of Beaumont, DEA, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office SIU, Polk County, US Forest Service and San Jacinto County Precinct 1 Constable Roy Rogers and the San Jacinto Precinct 2 Constable hiked deep into the National Forest near FM 2025 in San Jacinto County. Their mission was to remove 14,800 full grown marijuana plants that were discovered. With the heavily wooded area and almost no place to bring equipment in, officials loaded the plants on tarps. From there the tarps were put into cargo nets which were airlifted out of the woods and flown to an open pasture to be loaded onto trailers. In total, over one dozen flights were made and officials finished around 2 p.m. No suspects were arrested but pumps and generators were found again.
This is the fourth discovery for the area in the past few weeks.
