Sheriff’s deputies find $90M in pot plants in multiple-agency raid
FAIRFIELD Solano County sheriff’s deputies, working with one federal and two state agencies, raided a former hemp farming site and found more than 60,000 marijuana plants.
The estimated street value of the marijuana was more than $90 million, Deputy Le’Ron Cummings, the Sheriff’s Office public information officer, wrote in an email response to a Daily Republic inquiry.
“The Solano County Sheriff’s Office Resident Deputy Team recently discovered a large illegal marijuana grow near Sikes (Road), in the unincorporated area of Dixon. That same site was a legal (hemp) grow in 2019, but not a current approved grow by the county,” Cummings stated.
