In an attempt to curtail the transport of water to irrigate illegal cannabis grows, the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors today approved an urgency ordinance that would make it a misdemeanor to drive a water truck on certain Siskiyou County roads and highways frequented by such traffic.
Any truck that carries more than 100 gallons of water will be prohibited from traveling on specific roads in both the Butte Valley and Big Springs areas where such activity is rampant, effective immediately.
The penalty is a $100 fine and the ordinance may be enforced by any peace officer.

A 22-year-old Weed man that committed increasingly disruptive crimes and failed to abide by terms of probation was sentenced Tuesday to 11 years in state prison.
Cavonte Amaru Gary Shumlia was sentenced on 19 separate charges – including a September 2020 pursuit that reached 120 miles per hour – and probation violations from two previous cases, said Siskiyou County District Attorney Kirk Andrus.
“We never want to send a person this young to prison unless they effectively close off all other avenues,” Andrus said of the case, which he called an unfortunate failure of rehabilitation.
