Cave Junction Couple Sentenced for Growing Marijuana
Comments 0 | Recommend 0A Cave Junction couple are headed to federal prison for their marijuana growing operation.
54-year-old Rick Schlotzhauer was sentenced to serve 20 years.
His 51-year-old wife, Sabina, was sentenced to 10 years.
That's the mandatory minimum for growing more than 1-thousand marijuana plants.
In 2005, the D-E-A found a large underground marijuana growing operation buried in the hillside directly below the couple's Cave
Junction home.
The investigation led agents to a residence in Onalaska, Washington previously owned by the Schlotzhauers.
That's where they found 210-plants buried in shipping containers.
Rick Schlotzhauer received a longer sentence than his wife because of a previous felony drug conviction for growing marijuana.
