2 Men Indicted in Growing of Marijuana in Mountains
Two men, arrested last month for allegedly growing 4,315 marijuana plants in the Angeles National Forest, were indicted Tuesday on federal charges of growing the pot, which was valued at $10 million.
Terry Joseph Wolf and Charles Kevin Green were charged with manufacturing and cultivating marijuana with the intent to distribute, and aiding and abetting, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Dianne Cahir said.
Federal agents arrested the men on June 26 and 27 after a lengthy investigation, she said.
The plants were found in the San Gabriel Wilderness Area of the forest near Kratka Ridge, Cahir said. She said the street value of the harvested plants was $10 million.
If convicted, Wolf and Green each face minimum prison sentences of 10 years and fines of up to $4 million.
