Repeat Texas pot bust nets more than $5M in plants

WASHINGTON, Texas (AP) — A repeat drug bust at a rural plot in Central Texas has led to the confiscation of about $5.25 million worth of marijuana plants.

The Washington County Sheriff's Office says deputies Wednesday seized about 3,500 marijuana plants.

Officials say it's the same 150-acre site between Chappell Hill and Washington where deputies in March confiscated about 48,000 plants. The heavily wooded area is about 75 northwest of Houston.

Sheriff Otto Hanak (HAH'-nik) says nobody has been arrested. The sheriff says the latest crop of marijuana was likely planted around the same time as the other plants seized in March.

2. Gee, and I thought....

Washington-on-the-Brazos (as we call it) was a historical site as where the Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Texas was signed, but not very exciting.

I was wrong.
