The U.S. Postal Service and Lake County and Clearlake law enforcement this week seized $73,141 in cash, 63 pounds of marijuana, 903 indoor pot plants, six rifles and one handgun during a three-day operation that focused on drugs and drug proceeds being shipped by mail, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said.

During the operation, dubbed “nail the mailer,” they arrested Larry Morris Fabisch, 60, of Nice; Taylor Roland Fabisch of Nice; and Jonathan Robert Meisner, 28, of Clearlake.
