Marijuana patch swept from Nelson County range
Three acres of marijuana plants weighing nearly two tons were destroyed in an overnight raid by the Nelson County Sheriff's Department. Sheriff William M. Harris estimated the street value at about 1.1 million dollars. The find occurred on a remote mountainside north of Lovingston after Harris spotted patches from a helicopter. Deputies cut down plants from approximately 25 000 to 30 000, seized about 2000 dollars in gear including tents and power saws, and remained on site from 6 15 to 11 45. Suspects are believed to be in custody soon.
