Court records show that eight men have been charged in Beckham County District court after the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, with help from the Beckham County Sheriff’s Office issued a search warrant at an apparent illegal marijuana grow operation in far western Beckham County in May.
Documents show all eight men received one felony charge each of cultivation of a controlled substance, while two others received additional charges of acquiring proceeds from drug activity and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, due to authorities finding over $76,000 and weapons during the May 4 raid.
