In
early September, deputies assigned to the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s
Station received complaints regarding possible illegal marijuana
cultivation occurring in a residential neighborhood within the city
of Wildomar, Riverside County.
On
September 25, 2019, deputies served a search warrant near the 32000
block of Trailwood Court. As a result of the search warrant,
approximately 430 marijuana plants in various stages of growth were
located and collected. In addition, the electrical supply to the
residence had been illegally altered allowing for the theft of
electrical services. There were additional rooms still in the
process of being converted to grow rooms. Two suspects located at the
residence.
The two
suspects, Rene Luna,
a 21 year old resident of Wildomar, and James
Hill, a 40 year old resident of
Riverside, were arrested and booked into Cois Byrd Detention Center
in Murrieta for illegal marijuana cultivation, theft of utilities,
possession for sales of marijuana, maintaining a drug house, and
committing a crime while on bail.
Mr.
Hill is currently out on bail from a previous theft of electricity
and marijuana cultivation case. Wildomar Code Enforcement deemed the
house uninhabitable.
This is
an ongoing investigation. Anyone with additional information is
encouraged to contact Deputy Carlson
at the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station (951) 245-3300
