Three Mendocino County men were arrested and one cited Thursday afternoon after a search of two homes in Redwood Valley revealed 400 growing marijuana plants, according to Mendocino County Sheriff's Office reports.
At 12:20 p.m. Thursday, Sheriff's Deputy Tim Goss drove to a home in the 9000 block of East Road on a complaint from neighbors about a marijuana grow.
According to sheriff's reports, Goss talked to the people living in the house, who told him they were growing marijuana but would not allow Goss into the house to check on their compliance with medical marijuana laws.
Goss got a search warrant for the property and found two houses, one of which had been converted completely into a grow room, according to sheriff's reports.
Deputies found 100 plants on the property as well as evidence of other plants that had been recently removed. Further investigation led officers to a second house on Webb Ranch Road, where deputies found 300 growing marijuana plants as well as drying marijuana.
Aaron Alirez, 21, of Redwood Valley, David Coons, 21, of Willits, and Jason Dominguez, 29, of Redwood Valley, were all arrested on suspicion of cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale and providing a place for the manufacture of marijuana and were booked into jail on a $30,000 bond each.
John Rule, 49, of Willits, was cited on the same charges and released at the scene.
