Indictments in alleged marijuana ring

17 people in northeast Georgia have been indicted for allegedly growing marijuana. A Jackson County grand jury returned the indictments on felony charges stemming from several raids there earlier this year. Authorities raided so-called “grow houses” which look like ordinary homes but are set up inside to grow hundreds of marijuana plants at a time. Police in nearby Walton County have shut down nearly 20 grow houses in the past four months.
