Indiana State Police, Indiana National Guard Conduct Marijuana
Eradication Fly Overs
Greene
County – Yesterday, Bloomington Troopers assigned to the Marijuana Eradication
Team along with members of the Indiana National Guard Counter Drug Taskforce
conducted routine spotting from National Guard helicopters. While over
northwest Greene County, trained ISP spotters located 2 outdoor marijuana grows
in Vicksburg.
ISP
ground units were given coordinates, however local residents spotted the
helicopter and began to leave the suspected houses. Due to the ground unit’s
extended arrival, the helicopter was forced to land in an open field and the
ISP Spotters were able to secure the houses. Residents were interviewed
and were cooperative with investigators.
The
marijuana grows were secured and transported as evidence.
No
arrests have been made, however three separate investigations were launched and
will be given to the Greene County Prosecutor for review.
Under
the Law, criminal charges are merely accusations and defendants are presumed
innocent unless and until proven guilty.
