Description

On December 20th, Lane County Sheriff’s detectives and deputies served a search warrant at a residence in the 86000 block of Mahogony Lane, south of Springfield. Detectives had conducted a months-long investigation after a traffic stop in Illinois turned up 242 pounds of marijuana.  The investigation led back to the address on Mahogany Lane, which was a licensed OLCC marijuana growing location. It was determined marijuana was illegally being diverted out of state. During the execution of the warrant, over 2,000 pounds of marijuana was found on the premises. About half of the marijuana was being illegally secreted in the residence on the property, which was not part of the licensed area where marijuana could be kept. The marijuana in the residence was also not in the OLCC tracking system. Lane County’s Land Management Code Compliance Program will be following up with code violations discovered on the property.  Deputies also located several high-value stolen trailers, stolen tractors, and two stolen firearms, one of which was a suppressed AR-15. Numerous other firearms were also seized.  The Lane County Sheriff’s Office was assisted on this case by the Drug Enforcement Administration and OLCC. This investigation would not have been possible without the ongoing grant funding from the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission’s Illegal Marijuana Market Grant (IMMEG). This grant was created in 2018 by the Oregon Legislature to assist local law enforcement agencies and district attorneys’ offices in their efforts to address the illegal marijuana market in Oregon.  This is an ongoing investigation, and no further details will be provided at this time. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact LCSO at 541-682-4141 and reference case #24-6574.
