According to KHON news, about 6 thousand pounds of marijuana was found in a remote location in Kauai at Mount Waialeale. The net worth of all the plants is about $6 million. Authorities have been watching the suspects this summer, and finally decided to do the bust this past Friday after recording all their activites on camera.
Five people were arrested for being involved in this drug operation. In fact, a father and son, along with the son’s wife and the wife’s brother were all arrested. One of their friends also helped and was part of the arrest.
This is ridiculous. Not only is promoting and selling drugs a stupid way to make money (at the expense of others), but growing them within the family is even worse. The father might serve 20 years to life, while the others can spend 10 years to life in prison. They’ve also destroyed their own lives because of something so stupid. Everyone besides the father are in their mid-20s. They are too young to spend the rest of their life in jail. Then again, I do believe that it’s better to put those people in jail since they are hurting the community.
Hopefully justice will be served.
