Kelseyville home red-tagged after marijuana find

Lake County authorities have declared as uninhabitable a Kelseyville home they believe was being used solely to grow and process marijuana.

Sheriff's narcotics deputies found 216 pot plants when they served a search warrant at the Boren Bega Drive home at about 2 p.m. Tuesday, Sheriff's authorities said.

No one was at the sparsely furnished home, authorities said.

One of the home's bedrooms was converted into a marijuana-drying room and another was being used to clone marijuana plants. The garage was sectioned into rooms, one containing non-flowering plants and another containing mature, flowering plants, authorities said.

The remainder of the garage was used to process chemicals and marijuana, they said.

The residence was red tagged because it was unsafe for habitation and had unpermitted electrical wiring, according to county officials.

They ask that anyone with information about illegal drug operations contact the department's anonymous hotline at 263-3663.
