On July 30 at about 8 a.m., a Curry County Sheriff’s Deputy confronted two Hispanic males on Peavine Road off the Winchuck River Road south of Brookings carrying bundles of marijuana from a property there.
The Curry County Sheriff’s Office has been investigating that same property for the illegal manufacture of marijuana the past few months. The two males were detained and when additional deputies arrived, four more Hispanic males were detained in connection with an illegal marijuana grow.
