NEW ORLEANS – The Louisiana National Guard’s Counterdrug Task Force used its experience, high-tech equipment and training to assist law enforcement agencies with a large bust of marijuana plants in western Vernon Parish, June 14.
The Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office led a raid that resulted in more than 6,800 marijuana root balls being destroyed, with each root ball consisting of three to four plants with their roots twisted together, to substantially increase the plant’s tetrahydrocannabinol or THC level. In all, between 20,000 to 27,000 plants were eradicated on more than two acres, ranging from seedlings to three feet in height.
The LANG CDTF provided aviation assets to run a surveillance operation during the day, and then returned again around 9:30 p.m. The pilots flew from two miles away at 4,500 feet in the air and were able to safely guide the snipers from the Louisiana State Police into position using real-time video imagery and radio communication.
