Another $3 Million Plus In Pot Found Near Jay
August 20, 2008
Deputies in north Santa Rosa County have discovered another almost 2,000 pot plants near Jay.
The 1,900 plants, valued at more than $3 million, were found in five different areas just outside Jay Tuesday.
Deputies did not say if the marijuana plants found Tuesday were related to several large discoveries earlier this year. About 5,000 plants were found in March, 1,100 marijuana plants were found and destroyed in late July, and another 250 plants were discovered a short time later.
Tharon “Buckshot” Godwin, 66, of Jay was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, manufacture or deliver, a third degree felony in connection with one field. Authorities have not said if he was connected to any of the other fields.
