Marijuana growing charges against Bulgarians dismissed

Marijuana growing charges against four men arrested in June were dismissed Tuesday morning in Mendocino County Superior Court, due to insufficient evidence.

Oh well, this wont be the first time drugs and guns have disappeared at the Mendocino County Court House.

I'll bet that the bank accounts of a well-known local sheriff, DA, Judge and several lawyers just went up by $50,000 each

"The defense used by defense attorneys was that the men were there to do construction work on a cabin."

That's a good one.

You're right! It's common knowledge that there aren't any real construction workers in mendo county. They are all fronts for the cartel and other commercial growers. Right watcher?

[Jah Rastafari]

Peace my brethren. These Bulgarians were clearly innocent of growing the herb, lol. Great detective work Hoyle!

So did the officer "make up" the fishtailing part for probable cause?

[Dr Evil]

I still say, cut their balls off, send them to Gitmo for an extended vacation, then deport them.

Jan Michael-Vincent...er Cole Wilson, is a true Perry Mason. Way to go!

These guys have been here a couple of years. They were not new comers. What happened here?

[Ukiah_Mom]

Wow... you can be here ILLEGALLY and still have the tax payers flip the bill for your Public Defender!

What a country we live in! No wonder we're BROKE!

Shouldn't there be some law that you at LEAST have to be a CITIZEN to take advantage of all of our TAX PAYER FUNDED SERVICES?

[No Comment]

Is that a TRUE fact, "Covelo...?" Or are you blustering...?

[Occam]

Ukiah Mom, that is Vhat a country!

Yes ; most officers are frustrated detective novel writters who are not able to publish their work unless under the guise of police "work".

Great huh? With all the money that goes to this crap you would think that they would at least get a conviction once in a while. I love how pot is illegal even though it has been voted on , but ILLEGALS are cool with LE. I wish they would take COMMET and CAMP's budgets and spend them on ousting illegals. I think it would end a lot of our commercial grows, they have nothing to fear. Get caught, get released, start again. Great country!

[reality checker]

yay!

[Ohboy]

How much did this cost the county and the next thing is we will get a lawsuit and then it will cost more. I have to say I was surprized to see that this was not a closed deal. The newspaper article made it sound as though we hit one of the organized crime growers. Instead somehow it was botched. Guess they should of let them go , only really one road in and out of Covelo

[Geezer from Hell]

Orifice Hoyle manufactured the fish tailing part.
He is a known UDJ paper thief and still works for the police. I'll bet the out of town construction crew in Covelo that is building the new market are pot growers and ya better keep a eye on Cal Trans and especially UPS and Fed Ex drivers too.

Can the wet back speak and read English now ? if not send him back to jail to learn English

[Ohboy]

Makes no sence at all that he had a INS hold on him and it was lifted. I would think if he was working he must of had a green card. You can not go on a vacation in a foregin country and land a job without the proper visa.

What river do you have to get your back wet in to get here from bulgaria?

[Rebel Teacher]

Can I grow herb in Bulgaria now? I mean, why not hire locals to build your cabin or whatever.

How many strikes does Hoyle get before he strikes OUT? Talk about bad apples...
