Fresno County is issuing $477,000 in fines after denying appeals by residents accused of illegally growing medical marijuana on private property.
Gabino Zambrano, was fined $95,000 on Tuesday because a renter was growing 95 plants on his property, according to the Fresno Bee. Zambrano said he didn't know the renter was growing pot. In addition, the renter was fined $95,000.
Another property owner, Ana Maria Morales, was fined $6,700 because her father planted marijuana on her land. She claimed she had no knowledge of the plants, while her father Luciano Morales will pay more than $60,000 in fines.
Under the county's ordinance, medical marijuana is a danger to public health and safety, according to officials. There are about a dozen lawsuits filed against the county for carrying out the ordinance, which has been enforced for over a year.
