The Josephine Marijuana Enforcement Team (JMET) arrested a suspect while raiding an illegal cannabis growing operation in the Cave Junction area this week.
On Tuesday, JMET -- with assistance from Josephine County Public Health & Building Safety -- served a search warrant in the 1,000-block of Holton Creek Road.
During execution of the warrant, approximately 20 pounds of processed marijuana and over 70 marijuana plants were seized and destroyed. In addition, six bags of psilocybin mushrooms, a large amount of marijuana concentrate, a large amount of mushroom extract, a container of THC gummies and a large amount of cash were also seized as evidence.
Josephine County Public Health & Building Safety located multiple electrical, water and solid waste code violations on the property.
JMET detectives said 42-year-old Ahron Lee Wilson was placed into custody and lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Unlawful Manufacture of Marijuana, Unlawful Possession of Marijuana and Unlawful Appropriation of Water. He was being held without bail.
Detectives said the investigation is ongoing and no further details on the case are being released at this time.
