Terry Israel and her codefendants, Victor Villalobos and Eric Weston, entered pleas of not guilty Tuesday to charges of marijuana cultivation.
All three were charged with marijuana cultivation after they were found in Israel's Canyon Court home with more than 600 marijuana plants on Jan. 22 by Mendocino County sheriff's deputies.
Weston is being represented by Public Defender Joe Rogaway; Villalobos is being represented by Alternate Defender Barry Robinson.
Israel has retained Omar Figueroa to defend her. Israel is a Ukiah Fire Department captain and has been placed on paid leave pending the outcome of her trial; she said previously she plans to retire from the UFD, but has not yet done so.
All three defendants have been released on their own recognizance. Their preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. May 8.
