US Police Confiscates Over 45 Pounds of Marijuana During Easter Egg Hunt

The Clark County Sheriff's Deputies uncovered more than 45 pounds of marijuana during the day of the easter egg hunt in a Washington state.

According to Clark County Sheriff's Office Facebook page,  a man intercepted the easter egg hunt after he claimed that his roommates were going to fire shots on him.  However, the commotion led to the discovery of the police to a shocking large-scale unlicensed marijuana distribution operation in Salmon Creek, Washington, just north of the Oregon state line. According to the police, more than 45 pounds of processed marijuana with a value of over $202,000 was confiscated.

Three suspects involved in the more than 45 pounds of marijuana bust operation were taken into custody by the authorities, NBC News reported.  Joseph E. Sullivan and Jordan M. Long were arrested for felony drug warrant while Charles J. Yorkovich was booked on possession of a prohibited drug with the intent to deliver.  They were all booked in Clark County Jail. The authorities have also seized more than $108,000, which is believed to be proceeds from the marijuana sales.

Oregon Live claims that the investigators have also collected five cars that were alleged used by the operators in the drug business.  There was also a speculation that the cars were purchased using drug money. There was no firearm recovered from the scene.  As the tabloid reported, recreational marijuana is allowed in the state, but not selling it from home.

As per marijuana laws in Washington state, citizens with age of 21 years old and beyond are not prosecuted with the use or possession of one ounce useable marijuana, 16-ounce solid marijuana-infused product, marijuana-related paraphernalia and 72-ounces liquid marijuana-infused products. With the legalization of marijuana, it makes the Washington state a well known tourist spot.

The discovery of unlicensed marijuana operation in the Washington state is one of the biggest raid in the state. No comments were heard from the suspects about their recent arrest.
