HONOBIA — Pushmataha County Undersheriff Jeremy Jones reported a 20,000-plant marijuana farm was recently discovered in Honobia.
Pushmataha deputies working with Drug Task Force District 7 uncovered the operation by helicopter after an anonymous tip. About 20 people were involved in the two-day operation resulting in two arrests thus far.
The farm consisted of four separate plots on two acres along the side of a mountain. Three of the plots had plants and the fourth was being prepared for seedlings. The farmers were running irrigation out of a creek using a 5.5 horsepower water pump.
Five to 10 plants were found per hole, ranging from four inches to four feet tall. The street value of the plants, had they been fully grown, is estimated at $20 million.

Though it’s small and only a few people know where it is, the Hugo Dog Pound does exist and a menagerie of dogs consider it a temporary home.
Animal Control Officer Chuey Potter takes in all of the stray, un-cared for and unwanted dogs in the city. The dogs are waiting for adoption at the few kennels south of town.
Potter has been spreading the word about the pound through fliers posted around town, and says he has been seeing steady adoptions through that means.
The facility is in need of water bowls, flea and tick repellent, leashes, collars, dog houses, food and other items necessary for the dogs’ health and happiness. Potter is hoping people will donate to the animals. All money donated is also used strictly for the dogs’ care. Donations may be dropped off at the Hugo Police Department.
Anyone interested in adopting a dog can call Potter at the police station, 580.326.2550. |
