As well, officers found ap- proximately 50 growing marijuana plants. Conn’s property did not yield a grow site, but officers de- veloped information asso- ciated with the investiga- tion and a small amount of the illegal weed. Denham and Ta- mayo are current Oregon Medical Marijuana card- holders, said JOINT. The Oregon Medical Marijuana Medical Program author- izes them to possess no more than seven marijuana plants and one ounce of dried marijuana for per- sonal medical reasons only, JOINT said. The search warrant services Dec. 11 were con- ducted in a coordinated effort, with officers arriv- ing simultaneously at the three homes. Another grow site was raided by JOINT and Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) detectives on Satur- day, Dec. 13 in Hugo, a few miles north of Grants Pass. Again, there were no arrests, but 1,940 growing plants were confiscated. The site measured some 50-by-50-feet and con- tained four chambers, all in operation, said JOINT. In addition, a 12-by- 20-foot above-ground structure, used for drying and packaging marijuana, was found. Listed in con- nection with the search warrant service is Bruce Hattrick, 36, of 4825 Joe Creek Road. Agencies assisting JOINT Dec. 11 were Jose- phine County Sheriff’s Office, DEA, Regional Organized Crime Narcot- ics Task Force, Jackson County Narcotics Enforce- ment Team, Oregon Air National Guard, Oregon National Guard, Oregon State Police, Grants Pass Police, Oregon Dept. of Justice, and U.S. Forest Service.
