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.
