COLUMBUS, Ohio --
Eleven men have been indicted on charges accusing them of being part of a marijuana growing operation in rural Ohio, where authorities said they seized thousands of plants.
The men each face a charge of conspiracy to manufacture marijuana, according to the Wednesday indictment in U.S. District Court in Dayton.
Most were arrested in September at a riverside camp in Muskingum County in eastern Ohio.
Lawyers for some of the men say they were day laborers duped into working on the farm and knew nothing about the drug operation.
At the time of the arrests, Attorney General Richard Cordray said the alleged operation was evidence of "cartel-sponsored mega-marijuana farms" taking root in Ohio.
