Officers with the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, including from left, Detective David Grant, Sheriff Jim Cruzan, Detective Dwight McMahan, Detective Robbie Arneach and Sgt. Jimmy Clawson, harvested an additional 175 marijuana plants in the Balsam area Tuesday. A similar operation last week netted more than 70 plants and the arrest of a Whittier man. Though no arrests had been made as of presstime in the Balsam raid, officers say they expect to charge a suspect soon. The street value of the lastest illegal crop to be harvested was estimated at $250,000.
