Organized Crime Task Force raids two illegal marijuana grow operations in Prague
OKLAHOMA CITY (May 8, 2026) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond’s Organized Crime Task Force raided two illegal marijuana grow operations Wednesday. Agents raided Benson Kush and Grand Growth, both in Prague.
Authorities detained 36 suspects, and three illegal immigrants were taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and deported. 48,665 plants and 1,803 pounds of processed marijuana were seized. The processed marijuana alone has an estimated street value of over $3 million.
“We are sending a clear message that the days of criminal organizations treating Oklahoma like a safe haven for illegal marijuana operations are over,” Drummond said. “We will not allow these criminals to continue exploiting workers, evade the law or endanger our communities. Those responsible will be tirelessly pursued and aggressively prosecuted."
OCTF agents worked to carry out these operations in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Oklahoma City Police Department, Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority, Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry, Pottawatomie County, District 23 Drug and Violent Crime Task Force and the Oklahoma National Guard's 63rd Civil Support Team.
When Drummond took office, more than 9,000 licensed marijuana grow operations were in Oklahoma. Now, fewer than 1,200 remain.
