Troopers destroy $21 million worth of pot in McDowell County

August 13, 2005 4:02 PM

WELCH, W.Va.

Apparently it takes a while to burn 21 million dollars worth of marijuana.

State troopers in McDowell County spent almost an entire shift destroying the plants seized in a two-day sweep.

Sergeant W-C Tupper says the troopers began burning the pot at five pm Thursday, and it took them until midnight to finish it off.

Tupper says the marijuana was so heavy and green that the troopers had to keep turning it to light it all on fire.

Tupper led the eradication detachment made up of troopers from the Welch and Princeton detachments as well as conservation officers of the state Division of Natural Resources. They also had the help of a West Virginia National Guard pilot who flew a reconnaissance helicopter on the two-day mission.

It would take a VERY long time to burn all of that. A little bit at a time!!

meanwhile every bank in McDowell county was robbed during the evening...and troopers had to be hospitalised for 'contact highs' :)

No wonder John Denver made walking the woods of West Virginia sounds like such a high time.
