Up in smoke! Deputies find, burn millions of dollars worth of pot

Creek County Sheriff's Deputies make a massive pot bust Friday afternoon near Mannford.

Deputies got a tip that someone was growing marijuana in the woods. Deputies got a search warrant and headed out there.

Investigators originally found a clearing with several hundred plants. That, by itself, is a large bust.

Deputies soon learned that they were only at the tip of the iceberg. A trail from that clearing led to another clearing with more pot plants.

Deputies followed several trails and ended up finding a total of 6,270 plants with a street value of more than $2 million.

One man is in custody and investigators are looking for at least one more.
