AUTHORITIES BATTLE POT HARVEST IN KENTUCKY
BARBOURVILLE, Ky -- Deep in the Appalachian woods, Kentucky State
Police Trooper Dewayne Holden's Humvee struggled up what once was an
old logging trail.
As his three-truck convoy stopped at a clearing atop a 3,000-foot
ridge, Holden grabbed a machete and joined eight other armed troopers
and National Guardsmen, hiking toward a hill under some power lines.
But the pot growers had beaten them to the prize: Gone were the 40 to
50 marijuana plants worth as much as $100,000 that Holden spotted
from a helicopter more than a week earlier. Only six spindly plants
and some fresh ATV tracks were left.
