OAKLAND, Calif. — Alameda County prosecutors have filed charges against 11 people in connection with what police said was one of the largest marijuana grows in Oakland's history.
The Oakland Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/KlOKTX ) that each suspect was charged on Friday with felony possession of marijuana for sale and cultivating marijuana.
The operation's owner, 35-year-old Adrian Orion Papajohn, is also being charged with six counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm and other charges.
Oakland police raided a warehouse on Wednesday night and found about 2,500 pot plants, $40,000 in cash and guns, ammunition and body armor.
The warehouse was also outfitted with a video surveillance system and its doors bolstered with reinforced steel.
Police said the warehouse was not permitted as a medical marijuana operation.
