The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and the Osage County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant at Linda Wood LLC near State Highway 11 and County Road 2307 in Barnsdall over an active investigation.[1]

Authorities said they seized 12,899 marijuana plants and 840.8 pounds (about 381 kg) of processed marijuana during the search.[1] One person was arrested and five other people were taken into ICE custody, according to law enforcement.[1]

OBN public information officer Mark Woodward said the investigation involved illegal marijuana cultivation at the location, black market production and distribution, and cultivation without OBN registration.[1] Osage County Sheriff Bart Perrier said illegal grow operations outside Oklahoma’s regulatory system had no place in the county and credited cooperation between local, state and federal agencies.[1]

Authorities said they expected to make more arrests as the investigation continued.[1]
