A man has been arrested after officers with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LACSD) who were trying to sniff out a “fighting rooster” ring stumbled upon hundreds of kilograms of cannabis.
Late last week, LACSD reported that officers had discovered 227 to 272 kilograms of cannabis having a street value of approximately $640,000.
Photos released by the police show what looks to be both marijuana plants and processed weed.
The hefty find was likely a surprise to investigators who were on the scene in Antelope Valley to serve a warrant and break up a suspected rooster fighting ring.
Officers, indeed, found the ring. Beyond the cannabis seized, the cops confiscated 228 fighting roosters and a 22-calibre rifle, notes an LACSD Facebook post. Because animals were involved, the response team also included animal care and control experts.
