Damn WTF

By Greg Moran
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

August 4, 2007

SANTA YSABEL – A man who built an elaborate underground marijuana-growing operation at a log home in Santa Ysabel was sentenced to five years in federal prison yesterday.
Damien Andrews, 34, had pleaded guilty in May to manufacturing marijuana and to money laundering charges.
He was the owner of a 39-acre parcel in rural Santa Ysabel that was the site of the operation. The log home, built without permits in 2000, was outfitted with a high-tech surveillance system complete with infrared cameras that had night-vision capabilities.

The cameras stood guard over what authorities said was a sophisticated indoor growing operation. It was reached via an elevator hidden inside a closet in a garage next to the home.
The elevator went 10 feet underground to a tunnel that was 65 feet long and 4 feet wide. The tunnel led to two 20-by-20-foot rooms where authorities recovered 454 marijuana plants.
The room was equipped with an irrigation system, a generator and special lights. It also was ventilated.
Because it was so far underground, it would have been difficult, if not impossible, for authorities to notice the room even when using heat-sensing technology normally employed to spot indoor growing operations. Authorities said a tip from a confidential source led to the operation's discovery.
Before he was sentenced, Andrews told Judge Dana Sabraw that he has taken responsibility for his actions. “I really have no one to blame but myself,” Andrews said.
In addition to forfeiting the Santa Ysabel property to the government, Andrews will give up two other properties, including a $1.3 million home near the beach in Carlsbad.
Andrews, a permanent legal resident of the United States who is originally from Canada, will be deported to Canada after serving his sentence.
A second man charged in the case, Anthony Hillerby, has pleaded guilty to illegally growing marijuana and is to be sentenced on Aug. 31. A third man, Sean Smith, 35, has a hearing set for Aug. 31.

NEW YORK—Method Man is going back to school. As part of a plea deal reached following a marijuana arrest earlier this year, the hip-hop star was ordered to visit 15 city high schools to warn students about the dangers of drugs.
The former Wu-Tang Clan member, whose real name is Clifford Smith, "is thrilled to do it," defense attorney Peter Frankel said Friday. "He's never been in trouble before. He's not a stereotypical rapper." Smith, 36, was arrested on May 17 after toll-booth workers on the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel reported smelling marijuana smoke coming from his sport utility vehicle. He was charged with driving under the influence of drugs and drug possession after police said they found marijuana inside the SUV. Prosecutors knocked the drug charges down to disorderly conduct as part of the plea deal.
