A border patrol helicopter found two marijuana plots Thursday near Ham and Gorton roads in the Town of Alabama, according to Chief Jerome Brewster of the Sheriff's Office.
Brewster confirmed this morning a reader's tip led to the discovery.
A total of 17 plants were seized from one plot and 56 from another, according to Brewster. The plants were about three-feet tall.
A Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division was on scene, but this was a Border Patrol and Drug Enforcement Administration case.
The reader who tipped us said she saw the helicopter hovering above where there used to be several barns about 11:45 a.m. on Thursday.

That helicopter would have been much more useful on the Mexican Border, instead of protecting us from the evil dope users.

I would imagine, from the air, it is easy to spot them in the midst of a corn field or two.

After that big bust the border patrol can sit around and pat themselves on the back while drinking their drug.

Deb, I know its a pain in the
Deb, I know its a pain in the butt to have them wake you up. They are playing with their new state of the art infared camera. I've had them fly over my property to check for plants in the past, because some neighbors like to grow their pot, on "Other Peoples Property" to save their own *ss. Do you realize law enforcement can take your land if they find pot growing on it? I dont grow it, and I'll be damned if the cops are going to take my land, because of other peoples stupidity. I believe it should be legalized, but I would never risk the future of my family, and land, to grow it. It is illegal, for now..
