UPPER LAKE 20,000 MARIJUANA PLANTS SEIZED IN RAID

A raid on a pot farm in rural Lake County on Wednesday yielded nearly 
20,000 marijuana plants, said a spokesman with the U.S. Drug Enforcement 
Agency.

The marijuana would have been worth more than $80 million when it was 
harvested this fall, according to agency spokesman Richard Meyer.

DEA agents arrested medical marijuana activist Charles "Eddy" Lepp on 
marijuana cultivation charges, Meyer said. Twelve other people also were 
arrested during the raid.
