On December 6, 2022, the Josephine Marijuana Enforcement Team (JMET) executed a search warrant in the 200 block of Opal Lane in Grants Pass regarding an illegal indoor marijuana grow site. The search warrant was executed with the assistance of Rogue Area Drug Enforcement (RADE) and Josephine County Code Enforcement.

During the execution of the warrant more than 400 marijuana plants and approximately 200 pounds of processed marijuana was seized and destroyed.
