Illegal Aliens Sponsor Pot Operation

East Tennessee newspapers are reporting that one illegal alien (and perhaps more) may be behind what has been termed one of the "biggest" marijuana fields ever discovered in the Third Judicial District. The Third Judicial District is composed of Hawkins, Hamblen, Greene, and Hancock counties.

The street value of the 8-12,000 marijuana plants was pegged at nearly $1 million dollars.

Four Hispanic guards armed with various weapons including an AK47 assault rifle were posted around the illegal weed. One of the guards was captured. He had no identification, and it is assumed at this point that he entered the US illegally.

Three other Hispanic "guards" escaped on foot.

In what is probably the understatement of the day, Scott Castle, director of the 3rd Judicial Task Force said things could have been disastrous if the guard with the assault rifle had opened up on the officers with the AK47.

Castle's remark about facing an AK47 with standard .40 caliber law-enforcement side arms, "It would have been a problem."

Illegal marijuana in East Tennessee---grown by and protected by illegal aliens armed with rifles and an AK 47.

SECURE OUR BORDERS NOW.
