PINON HILLS: Outdoor marijuana grow uprooted, plants seized

San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies on Wednesday uprooted an outdoor marijuana growing operation in Piñon Hills, a rural area of the county near Phelan.

Around 300 plants, some as tall as four feet, were seized and one person was arrested.

The suspect, 33-year-old Mexican national Bulmaro Arreola, was identified by police as a caretaker who was hired to watch over and tend to the plants. He was booked on suspicion of cultivating marijuana.

Police said the grow was not in compliance with the state's medical marijuana laws and it violated the county's prohibition on outdoor cultivation operations.
