Overton Deputies Find Marijuana, Other Drugs

The Overton County Sheriff’s Department recently confiscated more than 300 marijuana plants and other assorted drugs.

The department was working with the Governor’s Task Force on Marijuana Eradication more than a week ago. A helicopter pilot reported several potted marijuana plants in a wooded area near a residence on Celina Highway.

Deputies received permission to search and found about 6 pounds of mushrooms, about 3.5 pounds of processed marijuana, some 300 marijuana plants, nearly an ounce of LSD, more than a pound of peyote, as well as liquid morphine, ketamine and oxycontin.
