West Point, CA..On September 19, 2018 members of the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office Marijuana Enforcement Team served a search warrant for illegal marijuana cultivation at an address on Acorn Way in West Point. Several outbuildings at this property near the main residence had been converted for marijuana processing/drying and several bunkhouse living quarters had been constructed. 225 large marijuana plants were eradicated from the site.







Three subjects were arrested at this location for Illegal Marijuana Cultivation 11358(c)H&S, Maintaining/Operating a Drug House/Location 11366H&S, and Criminal Conspiracy 182PC. Kevin Nguyen (33 year old male with Rhode Island identification), Dung Le (57 year old male from Texas), and Ourn San (53 year old male with Massachusetts identification) were all booked into the Calaveras County Jail with $100,000 bail. Additionally, Ourn San was booked for an outstanding extraditable no bail warrant from Alabama for narcotics related charges.

At the second location down the street, also on Blossom Lane, two subjects were detained upon deputies’ arrival. A motorhome and numerous electrical cords running to various equipment were found around a marijuana grow site. 619 marijuana plants were eradicated from this location.
