Illegal marijuana farm uncovered by State Police

On Thursday, November 2, 2023, the Oregon State Police (OSP) Drug Enforcement Section (DES) Southwest Region Marijuana (SWRMJ) team executed a search warrant on an illegal marijuana growing operation in the 400 block of Pinewood Way, Cave Junction, Oregon.  

Randall Meisenburg (41), of Cave Junction, was arrested and issued a criminal citation for Unlawful Manufacture of Marijuana (ORS 475C.349). As a result of the operation, 1,644 illegal marijuana plants and approximately 2,000 lbs. of dried, processed marijuana were seized and ultimately destroyed.  Additionally, approximately $9,000.00 in U.S. currency was seized.   

Due to the living environment, DHS Child Welfare was contacted and responded to the location to assess the condition of two (2) small children.

The OSP DES SWRMJ team was assisted by the Jackson County Illegal Marijuana Enforcement Team (IMET) and the OSP Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team.  

This investigation is ongoing and no additional details are available for release at this time.
