ANTLERS, Oklahoma -- An anonymous tip led authorities to 20,000 fully grown marijuana plants in Pushmataha County.
It took 20 deputies two days to pull up the $20 million worth of plants from four separate one-half acre plots. Undersheriff Jeremy Jones said Friday that the plants were located on the side of a mountain in the Kiamichi Mountain range about five miles west of Honobia.
Two suspects, Garcia Enciso and Gilberto Sandoval, were arrested in connection to the marijuana.
Jones says the men were found staying in a cabin near the marijuana plants, which ranged from 5 inches to 5 feet tall. Jones says gardening tools, including watering hoses, were found in the cabin. Authorities also seized guns and ammunition.
