The Franklin County Sheriff’s office seized over 280 pounds of high quality marijuana.

 


Over 280 pounds of marijuana were found in an indoor grow operation. Officials say that the amount is worth over one million dollars.
Investigators were alerted of a strong marijuana smell coming from inside a mobile home in Spruce Pine. The home is owned by Manuel De Jesus Diaz Alvarez, 54, of Cuba.

Deputies spoke with Alvarez and even showed them around the mobile home that was packed with pot plants.

Alvarez was arrested and is being held without bail because he is considered a flight risk.
