There was no one at home at the time of the raid. The owner of the property, who lives in Portland, is not a suspect. No arrests were made and no arrest warrants had been served by press time, according to Senior Trooper Scott Moore of the Oregon State Police.

Marijuana was discovered growing on the property by a U.S. Forest Service survey crew, investigating the relocation of a section boundary corner. Surveyors also found the carcass of a young deer that had been shot, according to Ron Pugh, Forest Service law enforcement officer.

Pugh said the forequarters of the deer had been taken, the rest left behind. Pugh said he did not know if the deer was a doe or a fawn, but it did not qualify as a game animal. The Forest Service alerted the Oregon State Police, which enforces game violations.

After obtaining a search warrant from Jefferson County, Oregon State Police, assisted by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department and the Central Oregon Drug Enforcement Team, raided the home at approximately 6:30 p.m. on October 18.

Seized were eight marijuana plants, from three inches to six feet tall, according to Moore.

Weapons found in the house, including a semi-automatic SKS assault rifle and semi-automatic .22 pistol, appeared to be legal weapons, according to Moore, though their role in the marijuana production was being investigated.

The residence appeared to have been occupied by three individuals. One of those was a 1996 graduate of Sisters High School, according to Moore.

Moore said the occupants of the house have not returned. He planned to present evidence to the Jefferson County Grand Jury alleging manufacture of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance.
