A Sheriff’s deputy and two men from California were arrested after a major marijuana bust in York County, Pennsylvania.
According to WGAL.com, York County District Attorney Tom Kearney announced the arrests of Tyler Long, Ryan Falsone, and Christopher Heath, who is a California sheriff’s deputy, at a news conference on Monday morning.
“Prior to the stop we were unaware of the fact that this individual was law enforcement,” Kearney said.
