An elderly woman is accused of running a major marijuana drug operation out of her Craig County home.
The investigation began about five months ago, when Craig County Deputies and Vinita Police got a tip that a large amount of marijuana was being sold out of the home of 73-year-old Darlene Mayes.
After months of investigation and surveillance, the drug task force served a warrant at her home Monday evening.
Around 6:45 Monday evening, Vinita Police, Craig County deputies and Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics agents raided the picturesque farm of the retired DHS worker.
Investigators thought Mayes was a major player in the drug trade, but even they were surprised at what they found: six pounds of marijuana, guns and $277,000 in cash.
