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.
