One person was arrested at a marijuana grow near Clinton, in Washita County, Oklahoma, and three others were handed to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.[1][2] On Thursday, 5 November 2026, Marijuana Enforcement Teams of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, the state drug agency known as OBN, served a search warrant at Cultivation World LLC as part of an investigation into illegal cultivation.[1][3][2] The raid took place at 10,834 North 2248 Road, about 5.5 miles (8.9 km) south of Clinton.[4]

Agents seized 15,703 marijuana plants and 114 pounds (about 51.7 kg) of processed marijuana.[1][3][2]

Investigators said they were looking at companies running on an OBN registration obtained by fraud through a straw ownership scheme, in which one person is used to conceal who really controls a business.[1][3][2] The Penny News, citing OBN, described the scheme as using an individual to conceal the true ownership of a business.[4]

The Washita County Sheriff’s Office, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the Washita County District 2 Commissioner’s Office and ICE assisted the operation, and OBN said its investigation continues.[4] Hoodline reported that a KFOR account put the number of people taken into custody at four, which fits one arrest plus three ICE transfers.[5]

Four people were taken into custody in the bust.[3][6][7]
