Plus one point for bunker construction, minus several thousand points for it coming to the attention of the cops. The plate carrier with the “VILLAIN” ID patch is a nice touch.
In December 2025, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Northern Division Canine Unit received information about a suspected illegal marijuana cultivation operation on a property in Anderson. After securing a search warrant, CHP Air Operations conducted an overflight of the area, further confirming the information received.
Following an approximate month-long investigation, members of the CHP Northern Division Warrant Service Team executed a search warrant at the property on January 20.
During the search, officers discovered an underground bunker accessible through a 100-foot-long culvert. The bunker was equipped with power, ventilation, a concrete floor with built-in drainage and the necessary supplies to cultivate marijuana.
In addition to the bunker, officers seized 13 firearms, four soft body armor vests, 30 high-capacity magazines, and approximately 10,000 rounds of ammunition, including armor-piercing rounds. Among the seized firearms were a sawed-off shotgun, three AR-15 style assault rifles, one with an obliterated serial number, and two firearms reported stolen in 2016 and 1978 respectively.
A few pictures of a cool looking bunker. No pictures of the actual alleged grow op.
The pictures that are available show a pretty interesting setup, complete with concrete floors and ductwork to the outside.
I guess the powers that be will destroy it and fill it in because it doesn’t have a building permit or something. Judging by the size, it looks like they buried a quonset hut. Looks like they did a pretty good job of it too.

Got to give them credit on the Villian placard on the body armor! That is funny!!!
With all of the gym equipment, the TV, and sofa, I would bet there were maybe 3 or 4 plants in there. It wasn’t a huge operation. The cops just needed the photo op.
THats why I was curious about them not showing the weed. It otherwise looks like a bitchin’ man cave.
Probably planted by the CHP…
I think he was a grower – just not there in the bunker – no reason for an indoor ops for most of the year >>> he either tripped himself up on a sale or got snitched by another grower …..
they did a flyover and confirmed a ops – seriously doubt they detected that bunker >>> actually pizz poor job considering no attempt to disguise that huge fricking culvert entrance …..
Legalize and tax Its not the 1930s anymore. If you look at the historical reasons for cannabis prohibition you may agree.
california has legalized it, and taxed it.
The taxes are so high that it’s still profitable to grow it illegally (there might be a lesson there).
Exactly. The notion that “We’ll tax it and collect the revenue” works best on something that someone can’t grow in their closet or basement.
“We’ll tax it.”
Because crooks are always so law-abiding.
“an alarming cache of illegal firearms and ammunition” CHP hyperbole much? In Texas that’s not even an unusual amount of firearms and ammunition for an average citizen.
Looks like more gov lies
Kinda like the latest ice gestapo murder in Minn. Watch all the video angles, guy was flat out executed after they took his gun. Doubt pedo donnie will cut a big fat babbitt check to his family.
You have to be pretty sick in the head to commit suicide by cop to support the foreign criminal invasion of your own country.
13 firearms is considered to be a large amount? What say you, Commander?
Its California.
“…forget it, Jake….”
Check out “Viking Shelters” on YouTube. The guy specializes in these types of buildings.
I see one “guilty” and ten “not guilty” verdicts for the charges presented.
I’m surprised they didn’t throw in the Benjamin air rifle amongst the line-up.
At least he had something small for underground critters.
“Armor piercing”?… M855…. Meh
The painting was a nice touch.
Did you know that Ricky and Lucy had a secret son they kept hidden from the public. He was born with severe developmental delays. You share his nickname. No judgement, just sharing a fun factoid from the golden age of TV. P.S. That boy grew up to be Ted Cruz.
They pissed off the competition, possibly even a cartel, who dimed them out. Cops bust illegal weed, cartel eliminated competition. Easy-peasey.
Moral of the story? Three can keep a secret if two are dead. Once your competition finds out about your weed patch bunker, your business model is about to be battering-rammed back to civilization.
This is like the criminal mastermind version of the guy who goes camping with new boots, no map, no compass, no warm clothes, no food, no water, no plan, and then breaks his ankle and dies.
File under :Duh.
Which crooks? The ones with badges or without? Several Sherrifs depts have been doing armored car robberies after they pick up cash from weed stores.
