Two Sulphur Springs #residents
were arrested and 85-90 marijuana
plants were confiscated Wednesday
by the Hopkins County Sheriffs
Office following a raid on a
marijuana patch on the outskirts of
the city.
Richard E. Waldrup, 29, and
Brenda Waldrup, 23, both of Route 5,
were charged with possession of
marijuana, a second degree felony ,
according to Sheriff Mark Bassham.
Bond was set by Justice of the
Peace William Bauman at $5,000 for
Waldrup and $2,500 for Mrs. Waldrup
Both are free on bond, Bassham said.
Acting on two search warrants
prompted by an anonymous tip. of-
ficers found the marijuana crop
growing behind a house on Highway
154, south of Sulphur Springs:
A sprinkler, water hose and a
public address system hooked up to
keep trespassers away led from the
house to the patch. Bassham said.
Those hook-ups plus some already
harvested stalks of marijuana laying
near the house gave the officers
probable cause to conduct the search,
he explained.
Two dogs were stationed beside a
tent near the crop, Bassham said,
apparently keeping watch on the
soon-to-be harvested crop, --------- -
He said officers found and con-
fiscated already harvested
marijuana and an illegal shotgun
from inside the house. A Yamaha
four-wheel A TV was also,confiscated.
Bassham placed a street value of
about $1,000 on each plant, some of
which were 10-11 feet high unhar-
vested. ' The leaves on these plants
are smaller than what we usually
find," he said. "I think it's going to be
a higher grade."
Assisting the sheriff in the search
were deputies Dennis Holley. R.J.
Shackleford. O.C. Rupe. Frank
Hedrick, Gary Waller, and Game
Warden Frank Ricketson.
