Hiker Stumbles Upon Pot Farm
It began when a hiker in the Prescott National Forest stumbled across some interesting-looking plants Wednesday and notified authorities.
It ended on Thursday, after a stakeout, with the arrest of a Mexican national from Los Angeles charged with marijuana production.
Authorities say that so far at least 1,000 pot plants have been pulled from a field near Paulden, marking the sixth pot farm found in an Arizona national forest this year.
Four marijuana plots have been found on the Tonto National Forest and one on the Coconino, said Jim Payne, Southwest regional spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service. Those earlier busts netted about 100,000 marijuana plants, he said.
