Darke County
Marijuana Eradication
On July 28, 2015 the Darke County Sheriff's Office, along with the
Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), conducted its annual Marijuana
Eradication. Each year, BCI agents help local law enforcement officers
spot marijuana grows with the help of a helicopter between April and
October, when growers typically plant and later harvest the
drugs. Experts at BCI estimate that a fully mature marijuana
plant can be worth between $1,000 and $1,500 once processed and sold on
the streets. Higher quality plants can fetch up to $2,000.
More than 200 Marijuana plants were located, worth approximately
$200,000 at street value. At this time no criminal charges are
being pursued stemming from the recovered marijuana plants
