OKMULGEE COUNTY, Okla. (KFOR) - According to the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office, a raid at an illegal grow in Okmulgee County led to marijuana, firearms and cash.

On August 20, agents with the A.G.'s Office partnered with multiple law enforcement agencies to investigate the grow. Participating agencies included the Attorney General's Organized Crime Task Force, the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority, Okmulgee County Sheriff’s Office, the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office, the Oklahoma National Guard Civil Support Team and the Department of Homeland Security.

Officials say 1,244 pounds of processed marijuana, more than 3,000 marijuana plants, three firearms and $25,000 in cash were found.
