Marijuana falls from the sky
Hunt County Undersheriff Joe Knight said rural homeowners near Greenville reported hearing duffel bags, which were filled with what appeared to be marijuana, thud onto their roofs early Monday.
Knight said his department was advised about 5:30 a.m. Monday to watch for a low-flying aircraft. A single-engine plane was found abandoned in a field beside a runway at Caddo Mills Municipal Airport about two hours later.
Knight said the public turned in four black nylon duffel bags filled with what appeared to be high-grade, hydroponic marijuana. Deputies found two other bags of pot in the plane.
A man is in custody for questioning, but no charges have been filed
