SELLERSBURG, Ind. (AP) - State police say cultivated marijuana plants growing outdoors in southern Indiana are easier to spot from the air because of this summer's drought.
Troopers from the Sellersburg post cut down more than 100 marijuana plants during stops at several growing sites on Tuesday. The News and Tribune reports an airplane pilot guided the troopers through heavily wooded areas and corn fields in Clark, Scott and Harrison counties to collect the plants.
Sgt. Jerry Goodin tells The Courier-Journal that the resilient green marijuana plants stick out like a sore thumb amid the drought-stricken corn fields. Police say no arrests were immediately made.
Goodin says troopers will be searching by ground and air over the next several months for marijuana growing operations and marijuana growing wild.
