US: Keeper of underground pot cave pleads guilty to three charges
Leon Alligood Gallatin News Examiner
Monday 08 May 2006 LEBANON -- A Trousdale County man has pleaded guilty to charges that he ran a huge underground marijuana-growing operation in a cave hidden under a house. Fred W. Strunk pleaded guilty this morning to three criminal charges: growing marijuana, money laundering and theft. He was sentenced to 12 years on the theft charge and 18 years for growing marijuana, with the sentences to be serve concurrently -- a move that will effectively give him an 18-year sentence. He was ordered to serve at least 30% of his sentence, or a little over five years, before becoming eligible for parole. He also must repay Tri-County Electric a total of $60,001 for electric power he stole from the utility to power the underground lights and other equipment that allowed him to grow the drug in the cave. http://www.gallatinnewsexaminer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060508/NEWS03/60508010
