Calaveras County Deputies Take Down Two Marijuana Growing Operations
Calaveras County, CA....Tuesday, September 2, 2008, proved to be a busy day for Sheriffs' deputies as they seized a total of 1801 marijuana plants and arrested three suspects from two different and unrelated marijuana grow sites. Deputies served a search warrant at a residence located on Sheep Ranch Rd. in Sheep Ranch. Deputies discovered 301 mature marijuana plants growing on the.....
property. As Deputies were conducting their search the property owner, Jack Strange, 42, of Galt arrived at the property. Deputies arrested Strange for cultivation of marijuana and possession for sale of marijuana without incident. Strange is being held at the Calaveras County Jail on $2,500,000 bail.
Later in the day Deputies seized 1500 marijuana plants in a remote area off of Camp Nine Rd. in Vallecito. Deputies conducting surveillance on the marijuana grow site encountered two subjects resupplying the grow site. Deputies were able to link Melchor Valencia, 28, of Fremont and Jamie Mendoza, 27, of San Jose to the marijuana grow.
Deputies found the grow site to be abandoned but believe several subjects had been staying at the site caring for the plants. Valencia and Mendoza were both arrested for conspiracy and cultivation of marijuana. Additionally both subjects had immigration holds placed on them. Both subjects are being held at the Calaveras County Jail.
