Detectives arrest three at illegal Lower Lake marijuana grow
LOWER LAKE, Calif. – This week Lake County Sheriff’s narcotics detectives arrested two men and a juvenile while serving a search warrant at an illegal marijuana grow in Lower Lake.
On Wednesday, the detectives served a search warrant in the 8800 block of Highway 29, according to a report from Lt. Corey Paulich.
When detectives made entry to the property through a locked gate they were confronted by two armed Hispanic males who were later identified as Carlos Cabadazazueta, 44, of Ukiah and Guillermo Cabadadelaherran, 19, of Lower Lake, Paulich said.
Paulich said Cabadadelaherran was armed with a 20-gauge shotgun and Cabadazazueta was armed with a .40-caliber handgun. After numerous verbal commands both suspects put down their guns.
While searching the property, detectives located a 16-year-old Hispanic male hiding in the brush who was in possession of more than $4,700, Paulich said.
On the property, Paulich said detectives located growing marijuana plants and three hoop style greenhouses that contained additional marijuana plants.
Detectives eradicated 858 marijuana plants and seized $5,493, Paulich said.
Cabadazazueta and Cabadadelaherran were both arrested and booked into custody for keeping a place to sell controlled substance, being armed while committing a felony, employing person under 21 to sell marijuana, cultivation of marijuana and possession of marijuana for sale, according to Paulich.
Paulich said the male juvenile also was taken into custody and turned over to juvenile probation for processing.
Due to the condition of the property detectives contacted Lake County Code Enforcement and requested they conduct an inspection, Paulich said.
