Busted pot growers mistake wardens for suppliers

QuoteRED BLUFF, Calif.—California wildlife officials say two men are in custody after a group of marijuana growers started to toss bags full of pot into a pickup truck belonging to game wardens they mistook for their suppliers. State Department of Fish and Game spokesman Pat Foy says two wardens in Tehama County were looking for deer poachers Monday night in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest when they heard footsteps behind them.

They turned and saw five men hauling large military-style duffel bags and sleeping bags. Foy said the men approached the wardens' truck as if to toss the bags in the bed.

The wardens began shouting commands at the group and managed to handcuff two, one of whom was carrying a shotgun. Three others escaped into the forest.

The wardens recovered 127 pounds of processed marijuana.

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

They alway's screw up?!?!?


Did you read (reed) the part where the growers threw (through) their (there) crop in the cop car?

That's what I mean!  The leo were presented with these dudes who were trusting enough to approach them with gobs of drugs, and rather than capitolize on the situation and get them while their hands were full, they started shouting commands at them, presenting the opportunity for escape.
