Search Warrant at Rio Dell Property Allegedly Yields Marijuana Grow and Illegal Firearms
A Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office team served a search warrant this week at a Rio Dell residence following what they said were multiple complaints from neighbors. According to Lt. Conan Moore of the HCSO, deputies with the Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET) searched the property located at 2510 Rio Vista Drive.
Inside, authorities reportedly discovered 257 actively growing marijuana plants and approximately 46 pounds of processed marijuana. In addition to the cannabis, deputies allegedly located eight illegal, unserialized firearms, one of which was outfitted with a bump stock—a device banned under California law that allows semi-automatic weapons to fire more rapidly.
The case has been referred to the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office for review. No additional details were released at this time.

Greed wins again.
you don’t lose your industry.
you just lose your turn
Don’t forget Gavin newsome holds a majority share of the stocks for this company.
There’s a reason why Gavin was flipping out over glass house getting raided this week for human trafficking.
can you back that up?
It’s not looking good🫤
Thank you! The big untold story behind corporate-style “legalization” is how the Billions of dollars in the industry now flow into the pockets of the already- wealthy while the poor rural Mom n pops got driven into the dirt. I find it despicable. And really everybody else should too! I won’t forget Governor French Laundry – as ” legalization” was beginning- telling all his well-heeled friends and associates to get invested in this new profitable business. They didn’t buy farms but they invested by buying shares of corporations who then hired farmers to do the work. Obviously with lots of illegal immigrants they could pay less than legal Americans! Gavin’s big corporate profit- making machine with all his wine silver-sooon fed buddies…
The Cannabis Control Board members are appointed, not elected. And they are appointed by the Governor himself. He assured his buddies that he would act to protect their financial interests. The first thing the board did was to meet behind closed doors and in a secret vote revoke the clause in the “legalization” proposition that suggested a temporary ban on mega-farms by keeping a lid on the acreage size. Obviously done for these kinds of corporate mega-farms. Sure- all profitable business in America is eventually seized by the mega-wealthy and corrupt politicians to allow them to siphon the profits away. BUT…why do we continue to bend over and take it?!!!! WTF people! Show some backbone and true American spunk. Quit submitting to the wealthy assholes who talk pretty while sending your communities into poverty by taking all the money! 3rd World peasants is pretty much what you are….3rd World mentality
That’s a lot of words but doesn’t 1st world mentality encompass some kind of critical thinking and problem solving? I bet even those who may have struggles with some of your words understand that all money filters up. And I bet they would love to stop shopping at “x” evil giant store, if some healthy alternatives were offered that they could afford, or if they felt like ANYONE in this government cared about them. Being wired for survival, and especially without a mentor or community to help teach them, how can we blame the young’ns for supporting all the dispensaries that make this possible? 😢
The young people are ignorant and are kept stupid and trained to consume. They buy all kinds of crap they don’t need. Crap produced by corporate assholes who also produce ads to mind-trip the young fools into buying the crap. They are a helpless festering mass of idiots just like their parents. They don’t deserve freedom and they should all be enslaved to toil in sweat shops- that is their future….and they are headed there willingly. Peasants. Subservient bitches of corporate domination….sure, buy dispensary weed you moron sell-outs
Facts matter. Gavin Newsom does not hold a majority share of the stocks in Glass House Cannabis. Public records indicate that while a co-founder of Glass House Farms, which is owned by Glass House Brands, has donated to Newsom’s campaigns, there is no evidence to suggest he has any ownership stake in the company itself.
Sure. Gov screw-your-best-friend’s- wife is a paragon of morality. He only facilitated and engineered the wholesale transfer of the weed industry to assholes like his friends who invested in Glass House. Big difference! Your wonderful hairdo creep is clean….
LInk?
That’s 2 asks so far for documentation, and 2 unanswered replies 😢
A real simple solution is Google it’s free!
Lies cone from your foul sewer of a mouth
Curious why Kym is not covering this story? Should be the main story on KymKemp right now. It’s all over national and international news sites, but isn’t even mentioned by our local news when Glass house has singlehandedly devastated our local cannabis economy? Child labor violations…an undocumented worker died after the raids…seems very strange to not be covering this.
I saw it long after LoCO posted. They did a good job. I rarely cover news outside the area and frankly I have a story I’ve been trying for two weeks to write so…all factored together to give me permission to just say ‘I don’t have to sleep even less than I do to write this up.’
Take your time; always worth waiting for results! Thanks Kym!
Maybe because the administration is clearly LYING about many , many things ALL OF THE TIME
Trafficking minors and fatal exploitation of other illegal immigrants toiling away for as long as a decade or more at a hazardous quasi, pseudo legal weed farm without safety nets that donates tens of thousands of dollars to Governor Greasy Gavin on the take in a Democrat State…???
HUSH…!!!, HUSH…!!!
Nothing to see here folks, move along…!!!
The Glass House illegal immigration enforcement raid is a round peg in a square hole narrative…
“Sorry, it’s just not possible to fit it in at all…”
It’s not like it was a severe heat alert or anything pressing or locally relevant like that…
It was baco’-chippin’ yesterday, pushing and/or exceeding 105°…
Yikes…!!!
But, who knew…???
However…
The Eureka City Council’s politically biased, Liberal boycott of Avelo airlines…???
“BREAKING NEWS…!!!”
‘HOLD EVERYTHING…!!!”
” STOP THE PRESSES…!!!”
“SET ASIDE THAT TWO WEEK STORY…!!!”
“DROP IT…!!!”
“RESET THE TYPE TO FOCUS ATTENTION ON THE LIBERAL ECC DECRYING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT ON A BUDGET AIRLINE …!!!”
“THE TWO WEEK STORY WILL JUST HAVE TO TAKE A BACK SEAT AND SIT THERE AND WAIT…!!!”
“HIT THE BONG HARD AND BREW ANOTHER POT OF COFFEE, NO TIME TO WASTE…!!!”
“ALL HANDS ON DECK…!!!”
A few minutes later…
“EXTRA…!!! EXTRA…!!! READ ALL ABOUT IT…!!!”
“LIBERAL EUREKA CITY COUNCIL BOYCOTTS AVELO…!!!”
LOL…!!!
really the local political machine sold out water out and then had to take the industry down so we couldn’t decide we wanted to keep our water. So all this water theft is just to move the grows down to ‘organization’ run areas. SoCal money have no love for rural lefties, your way of life is on the chopping block in the name of progress.

These people also donate a lot of their money to Gavin newsom which isn’t suspicious at all
Trumped up charges, he’s after California in any way he can disrupt things here. I doubt these charges will stick, the kids were there with their working parents. It’s summer, school’s out, no babysitters or daycare. I don’t believe any of this but the fact that ICE is doing illegal things and none of it is going to stick for long. They could show up here going after legit grows…What a cluster!
What laws do you think ICE has broken?
All of them
Please list the laws you think ICE broke?
ALL OF THEM.
remember when y’all wanted to ban mask wearing? Now it’s ok to remain anonymous and kidnap law abiding people including citizens?
And..A bunch of y’all on here spent decades undercutting LOCAL single moms& women in general by outsourcing our jobs to immigrants (I’m pro immigrant while being anti whitedudes’ bs) to reap huge profits. The same misogyny lobbed at us local women has now pivoted to shit on someone else based on the same tired cisgendered white male supremacy. Bottom line is WE ALL accepted local white dudes’ shitty behavior to feed our families. Meanwhile,many of y’all went on to become millionaires while shitting on the rest of us.
Funny/ not funny how deep the hypocrisy runs
And once again, white dudes shitting on the very people that enrich them and make the system go
You literally listed no laws that they broke. Ice is wearing masks to protect themselves and their families from being exposed, identified, doxxed and with good reason as the insane rhetoric spewing from the anti white, anti Ice left is going to get people killed. I have non criminal friends and acquaintances that voluntarily self deported soon after the election. I thought then they had nothing to worry about but I know see that they made the right decision. You are going to bring ice here with your anxiety inducing comments. Try to relax.
That’s not much of a reply. President Trump is enforcing all of them.
Trump is not too good with free and fair elections that don’t favor him, which sorta, kinda disqualifies him for public office in the world’s former leading Democracy. Just sayin’ . . . .
President Trump does well when democrats don’t steal the election. Trump is great when elections are free and fair.
Epstein.
I never accepted their shitty behavior. Commented right here all the time about it. And called people out in public. Made me a very unpopular guy to this day…We literally got swamped in the greedrush and many locals willingly jumped on board, welcoming those assholes….so yeah I get your bitterness, I can relate. But it wasn’t all men….
There’s lots of us out here that are millionaires who don’t sell drugs. Maybe you should think about becoming a wiser investor instead of whining about how all of us who work hard, make money.
ICE broke no laws…
That’s right, not breaking the law but enforcing it. Cultural revolutionaries hate law enforcement because they want chaos.
How about an answer instead of a downvote?
Pulling people off the street, sometimes on appearance alone and subjecting them to incarceration and deportation without due process. Is this a trick question? Geez, I mean, Wow, man.
No wonder the country is going to hell on a rocket sled.
Well if he’s after California then we better not give him any ammunition by flagrantly supporting illegal activities.
California has been the punching bag for “conservatives” for decades (long before Newsom). Trump also said something about federalizing New York City if it votes for Mamdani. Democratically elected officials are all the “ammo” he needs. “Don’t suck up to me and I’ll take over your state or city”.
Those kids will now be locked in cages, dehumanized and deported to God knows where.
Obama used cages for kids. Trump removed the cages. Stop spreading false news.
Really?
That’s a photo of President Trump looking at Obama’s cages. Nice try at false news and lies.
Read the words under the picture! This is in Florida this past week. Built by DeSantis people Obama has nothing to do with it! You can’t really be this gullible to blame everything on Obama.
Sorry Emma. I was distracted.
Fact check: Obama administration approved, built temporary holding enclosures at southern border.Michelle Obama criticized the Trump administration for putting kids in cages, but the cages were built during the Obama administration.
Wrong
try again
So you don’t care for facts and the truth.

Maybe this will help refresh your selective memory. This is a BBC story from March of 2002 and we know how pro-trump they are!’

Epstein
Right?! All lies and their actions killed someone.
Thought these rubes loved state’s rights
The illegal was trying to escape and climbed up on the roof. He killed himself by falling off…
Surely you jest…
The unaccompanied illegal alien minors were not “there with their working parents.”
You know this? I’d love to see proof that they were hired workers. Not that it matters for ICE anymore. Mask up (because ya some illegal alien might be a threat to the 5 of you and your semiautomatic wespons), arrest everyone who’s Hispanic, and ask questions later. I’m usually all for proof when accusations are being made. But by now, anyone who doesn’t know this is happening all around the country, is already practicing selective memory…
If they were “there with their parents”, then why was it their parents did not claim them, they were described as “unaccompanied”.
And the “threat” does not seem to be the migrants, the threat comes from those “peaceful protesters” that interfere after the raid. That is when things get dangerous.
Rather if we support or don’t support the raids, theoretically they are legal. The rock throwing, interference with the procedure, and rhetoric creating the division between us, is a sad product of party politics.
This crisis is not going to be solved through name calling, finger pointing, or party propaganda. Respect with calm and factual debate is how our legislative process was built.
Agreed!! They may not have been there at all
Yes let’s begin the twisted pretzel logic of why it’s totally fine to bring children to work at the mega-grow weed farm- in direct violation of laws created to protect children’s safety. How dare Orange Man ICE get warrants to arrest law breakers!! Comments like this make me consider voting for Trump next time….tds much?
Without the immigrant laborers so cherished by big capitalists and tiny democrats alike, how would head patients get their green medicine?
family oriented migrants are doing the work ameriXans don’t want to do!
lazy Americans only want to play video games!
I stand with Newsom, President of the Republic Of Californio, in allowing and encouraging international labor migration for the purposes of big buisiness and free trade.
its just who we are, from the cotton fields to the cannabis plantations.
“the only constant is spare change”
-Starhawk.
“freedom isn’t free, you have to work till your free.”- Toby Keith
it’s just a better deal to hire international labor. Even Charlie Kirk agrees,😉
We are proud “residents” of Californio at your service Mr Newsom 🧑🏾🌾 💰 🇺🇸
You make a strong argument. I mean just think about what happened to the price of cotton after slavery ended.
We need to keep the borders open so that we have people available for our corporations to exploit. Otherwise the price of strawberries might go up.
Or cheaper meats from packing houses, cheaper venues for recreation, food prepared cheaper to take out or any of the other industries that use routinely use immigrant labor to avoid pay going rates that make the work attractive despite its nature?
Too many liberals constantly complain about greedy corporations, landlords or health care as if they did not contribute to the greed.
Warning! This morning there were several articles on the internet about workers at Safeway around Northern California authorizing a strike. This is what labor can do for itself if the alternative of illegal or H-B2 visas don’t stripe the power from them.
This seems like a decent place to drop this old article I’ve had bookmarked for years.
A cunning plan some 60 years ago that would replace the Mexican laborers with all-American teenagers. It didn’t work out like they planned. As an aside, when I was a teenager I briefly cut daffodils out on the Arcata Bottoms. Me, a 5’9″ girl and several tiny Asian ladies (they were pros, amazing). It was back-breaking for me. Anyway, i didn’t last that long, because I had to deeply bend over for hours. It’s hard fucking work (and I say that as someone who worked on fishing boats for years), the hardest I’ve ever done.
Anyway, the idea that kids “just don’t want to work” isn’t new.
https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/07/31/634442195/when-the-u-s-government-tried-to-replace-migrant-farmworkers-with-high-schoolers
So, if the work is “hard fucking work” why is it a good thing to use people who are most vulnerable and so have little choice but to do it? More on that point, why are high school students so unused to “hard fucking work” that they can’t do what other people actually do to earn a livelihood?
The answer to that is because it is easier and cheaper to keep using labor that has little option but has a good work ethic than it is to invest in machinery, infrastructure or development to make the work easier. Hello? It’s called exploitation. That is in no way an honorable excuse for turning a blind eye to the law to be broken..
I worked in the fields for years and usually missed the first two weeks of school. I learned Spanish and how to cook. I was able to buy a 1959 Chevy and was more independent than most students. It’s a great job with plenty of fresh air and free fruit. The harder you worked the more you earned.
And do you think a high school/college kid today can work, pay rent and buy food, pay for the internet their school and job demand they have…pay more taxes then you did, and get paid so so much less than you did, adjusting for inflation…and still buy a car? Your version of that time of life sounds wonderful, and I bet it was. Super sad that it is not the world we live in today. It’s not even the world we lived in 2 years ago 🫤
When the fruit and veggie harvest was over, I milked 85 cows before school and after school. My social life was limited. I went to college on the GI Bill. I received $90.00 per month so I had to also work 40 hours a week to pay rent, buy food, pay for gas and insurance and health care. It wasn’t so wonderful, but I learned that work ethic from my family along with honor and respect for others. Many of today’s parents have dropped the ball on raising children without discipline and teach them little.
Your last sentence might be the biggest understatement I’ve ever read….yeah it’s become a shitshow. I’m lucky I caught the old hippie/country people ethos of living small, consuming less, reusing everything and being grateful for the simple blessings. Everything so hyped today….greed is rampant
We have much to be grateful for. Society has flipped over. Good is bad and bad is good and like you said greed is rampant.
Don’t forget Avocado Toast. They NEED to buy avocado toast! Can’t just make it at home. Must buy at cafe! They NEED everything possible. Good little consumers we’ve raised them so well…
In 1940 or during the depression or the dust bowl
Sorry, pop pop. That’s not ‘merikkka anymore
Yall act like no one in these comments has ever been a local farm worker. Keep rubing, rubes🤙
You completely missed the point of the conversation with your slow- wittedness.
Your insight is on point, the game has been rigged and our kids want to grow up to be big kids, kids don’t want to do hard work, simple as. This was requires so pundits could say ‘amerimutts dont wanna work’ if globalism works out in the agendas favor prepare for dystopian corporate slavery and removal of the ability for true nature to reproduce and thr ushering in of purely engineered food stuffs and no natural born life, licenses required for all such activity.
Extended Adolescence
no true rights of passage except trauma and drama of leaving home at 18, getting on plane train or automobile and just figuring it out sooner than later that the safety net of success isn’t a solo effort
It’s not that they have little option it’s that they did this work last year in Honduras. They do it well and efficiently and they show up 5 days a week and don’t break down at the site of a pile of hard labor. American kids suck at work. They suck. I’ve had 20+ American kids come work for me. Worst workers I’ve seen in my time.
Guatamala has a work ethic that you don’t get living in Paso Robles.
Almost as if entire crops were engineered for failure in economic and breeding terms. Wonder who would benefit from that. Depending on your bias u will come up wirh various options on who they is. But when u look past the theatre of us and them you may just find the weird truth. I’ll leave a hint, it’s not who anyone is really saying, from any organized credible source.I won’t spoil it t exposing my own bias, but go ahead and start to figure out who is funding what…
Thank you Angela, Interesting article. And good point from someone who developed good work ethics early on. I super respect women who take the initiative to join a predominately male workforce, don a carpenters belt, work on a fishing boat, or pull green chain with the best of them. I have a late friend, Lisa Werner who pulled green chain locally and drank with crew after work. Tough gal.
This was tried recently. The kids were too entitled to show up more than a few days a week. Been there done that. If got my peeps now but it took me years to vet them and get them.
most low education Americans don’t work regular jobs and they certainly doesn’t work hard. Funny how one guy thinks we need to get these creeps out but even their kids are not capable of working these jobs.
Thanks for the link. Really fascinating article! Never heard of that ill-fated program before.
Agreed. We are a nation that need that labor. We don’t have the population of India or China and without labor from other countries we would need to completely revamp our society to get the poor back to work. Bueno suerte
Hunger is the most underrated motivator.
kids need to have that fucking know it all attitude wiped off their faces
weve done this to ourselves
Kids need to feel hunger.
period, end of the argument.

The article says, “A Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office team served a search warrant this week at a Rio Dell residence following multiple complaints from neighbors.” The moral of the story might be, “Don’t piss off your neighbors.” What do you think about that possibility?
Yup. (Daily Mail UK)
Democrats including Gavin Newsom suggest migrant cannabis farm workers caught up in violent ICE raids were ‘kids picking strawberries’
Why yes… kids picking strawberries !!!
Do y’all read stuff or just post?
many parents without childcare must bring kids to work with them. Ever staple or file shit for your parents on the now defunct “ bring your child to work day”? Were you being trafficked while you toiled over that stapler?
Ever enjoyed the simple, sweet joy of picking strawberries as a child? Guessing no.. but I lived for summers to pick the garden at home and at grannie’s(when daycare was not an option) and eat all the delicious seasonal treats we dreamt up.
Also… congrats on finding the uk’s equivalent to the National enquirer 👏 They’ve also got hot takes on ufo’s& squatches and whatnot
No. I read and think.

The California State Legislature is comprised of individuals from diverse professional backgrounds.
A significant number have experience in law, education, and business. Others have held positions in public service, such as local government roles, and some have unique past occupations like forensic dentistry or video game development, according to the Los Angeles Daily News and the Center for Public Integrity.

Another lie from delusional Newscum…
The article says, “A Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office team served a search warrant this week at a Rio Dell residence following multiple complaints from neighbors.” Do you think the moral of this tale might be, “Don’t piss-off your neighbors?”.
the irony of advertisements for redwood roots, emerald technologies, and plant humboldt at the bottom of this article is off the charts
It’s the cannabis section…And all of those are legal California businesses.
The article says, “A Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office team served a search warrant this week at a Rio Dell residence following multiple complaints from neighbors.” Do you think the moral of this tale is that one should avoid annoying their neighbors?”.
Greed took over. 6 plants allowed by Prop. 64 are plenty.
Sonia Baur, the neighbors of this small medical grow did not do any complaining. There is literally acres of greenhouse at the end of the road. I would typically agree with you however I feel like the press release may be misleading. 2 of the 3 neighbors have commercial cannabis grows.
Meanwhile…
>… ‘deputies allegedly located eight illegal, unserialized firearms, one of which was outfitted with a bump stock—a device banned under California law that allows semi-automatic weapons to fire more rapidly.
Yeah, you need 8 unserialized firearms to protect a medical grow.
Go figure.
Bear knows the exact greenhouse dimensions & the canopy square footage as well as the neighborhood’s feelings about the grow..… Am I the only one seeing this? Do I have to say it? Bear got busted.
