Hunters hold suspect at pot garden

Hunters in the Knights Valley reportedly discovered a marijuana garden on a private ranch Sunday afternoon and held a man tending the crop at gunpoint until sheriff?s deputies arrived.

The small group was armed when they found the marijuana growing a remote part of the ranch owned by one of hunters near Briggs Ranch Road and Highway 128, Sonoma County Sheriff?s officials said.

As they approached, a man walked out of the garden and away from the hunters, said Lt. Scott Dunn.

?The hunters held that fellow at gunpoint until an arrest could be made,? Dunn said. ?They were lucky. If they had been unarmed, they could have been hurt or killed. Many times pot growers are very heavily armed.?

Deputies identified the man as Enrique Guetierrez Munoz, 29, of Santa Rosa, who they said is wanted on two drunken-driving offenses.

Munoz told deputies he was taking care of the garden for others, Dunn said. Munoz was arrested and taken to Sonoma County Jail, where he was being held on $20,000 bail. He is expected to appear in court Wednesday.

The odds are very high that he is a illegal alien and was tending the garden for a mexico drug cartel. We just had a 11,000 plant garden taken off here and it was mexican nationals tending the garden for a mexican cartel. They have very much taken over the funny weed gardens and meth labs in several states that border Mexico. The CHP on interstate #5 get alot of smugglers carrying meth and black tar herion North to Oregon and Washington. Of course they are being accused of racial profiling for stopping Mexicans that are the main group of smugglers.
Maybe we should send all those illegal aliens that are in the drug business to the city of San Francisco and let them have them on condition they can not leave the city limits. Those liberals might just open their eyes for once. On second though, the pot smoking, meth using liberals would not want to give up their dealers.

They found two gardens over the hill from me last week. Only 600 plants though. It is all private ground and everyone is wondering were the access point is.

The access point is just south of San Diego.

Which is worse...

Marijuana gardens guarded by illegal immigrants with fully automatic weapons or...

explosive meth labs in the middle of the woods and old cabins?

The DEA has been real busy in South Utah the last couple of weeks. They have found 7 or 8 large pot farms. They are now estimating that the street value will hit over $100,000,000.00

The cartels hire nationals to tend the farms for 90 days and then send in new troops.

Kinda spooky having that sh!t going on in your back yard.

We had some illegals tending pot crops here in Oregon in the trout creeks poaching bighorns for food. They were raided and never caught???

A friend of mine hunts blacktails here in Cali next to a big vinyard.
His deer club took 14 bucks last year.
Of the 14 8 of them had .22 slugs in them.
Now how do you suppose that happened?

There has been more than 100,000 plants pulled by law enforcement in Napa County so far this year. Alot of gardens here in Cali. Firearms are found in nearly every garden too.

I just had an idea. Could there be a hunting season for...the pot farmers? No weapons restrictions and the DOW actually pays you for the tag. Now that I think about it, that just sounds like being a bounty hunter.
