After the police executed a search warrant of Mr. Walter's home, oh man what a find!

  • 40 pounds of cut marijuana
  • 475 additional plants. 
  • Value between $500,000 and $1,500,000
  • Unbelievably Restored 163-yr-old Million Dollar Wisconsin Farmhouse

    Not one detail was missed in giving this very old farmhouse new life. A couple new buildings added and a connecting underground tunnel, too.

           “It was very surprising to us based on the fact that he was not even on our radar as far as someone that we were looking at for distribution of narcotics. I would imagine that this is going to impact the supply of marijuana to our area.”Sheriff John Matz

    I would imagine that area is going to be "dry" for quite a while after a million dollars worth of weed has vanished. That's a lot in a not so big of town, eeks! His girlfriend was placed under arrest as well.
