4 Chinese citizens, 1 in US illegally, found with $22.5M worth of marijuana plants in GA

Georgia law enforcement officials thought they were raiding an illegal food manufacturing plant before discovering $22.5 million in marijuana plants last week, authorities said Tuesday.
Four Chinese citizens were arrested in connection with an illegal marijuana growing facility in Pierce County. The suspects, identified as Zhu Sheng Bing, Jinpeng Ma, Chenhui Shu and Wei Sheng Deng, were taken into custody.
They each face a charge of felony possession of marijuana. Additional trafficking charges are expected, authorities said.
"The agriculture industry is not immune to criminal activity," Tyler Harper, Georgia's Agriculture Commissioner, said at a news conference to announce the bust. "I say all the time, just like water takes the easiest path, so does criminal activity from time to time."
Deng has been detained by U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE), according to his arrest booking report. The other three were in the U.S. legally, authorities said.
They are all being held without bail.
The investigation into an alleged rural food manufacturing facility was launched four weeks ago, Harper said. People at the facility allegedly told an undercover law enforcement officer they were growing an "edible food product," Pierce County Sheriff Ramsey Bennett said.

I don't think there is a building on planet Earth big enough to hold 22.5 million in marijuana plants

They will follow the money if they give a shite. Probably funding the Chinese coming across the border.

Wow ... Georgia is taking a beating ... first it was corrupt voting in the urban counties in the 2020 election with a corrupt secretary of state, there was the Stacey Abram fiasco, then there was the Warnock (s/p) embarrassment and scandal, then the Willis mistake to bring politically motivated bogus charges against Trump and his affiliates, then the scandal of Wade Willis affair, then the sad Riley murder by the illegal, then the news of he and his brother being community turds and failure of the police to arrest them after the October shoplifting incident, then the Bradley testimony at the Willis Wade hearing, now this marijuana story. Oh, and of course that embarrassment of a press conference from the Athens mayor. He made Athens look worse than Fulton County.

Took those awful criminals off the streets.
Let’s be real. The only reasons they got arrested was the incompetence of the investigation and the feds not even knowing they were growing weed and then most of all, they weren’t getting their share of the money. Plain. And. Simple. Otherwise, no one would have cared.
This whole “war on weed” is dead and tired. It’s a broken record at this point, but move on.
