JACKSONVILLE, Ore. -- Police arrested three Southern Oregon men accused of growing and distributing more pot than is legally allowed under the state's medical marijuana program.
Police say an undercover officer recently bought 65 pounds of marijuana from two people in a Grants Pass parking lot. Information gained from the buy allowed them to obtain three search warrants in Josephine and Jackson counties.
Police seized a total 225 pounds of marijuana at homes in Williams and Jacksonville.
The Oregon State Police says all three locations have ties to the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program.
Arrested were 46-year-old Robert Bell, 49-year-old Pedro Gavaliz and 26-year-old Jacob Thompson.
