CALIFORNIA IN BRIEF : STANISLAUS NATIONAL FOREST : Marijuana Held as Evidence Is Stolen
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
More than 120 pounds of marijuana--evidence in the trial of a Los Altos man--has been stolen from a locked storage shed at a ranger station in the Stanislaus National Forest. A U.S. Forest Service spokesman said that the plants have a street value of almost $225,000 and that the FBI has been called into the investigation. The marijuana was being held as evidence against Jeffrey Peter Gurney, 37. Officials said the theft will not affect the case because prosecutors have a sample of the marijuana and other evidence.
