Another day, another pot bust for the Texas Dept. of Public Safety. Indeed, this is the third bust in as many weeks — and the second big indoor grow bust in Austin this month.

This time, on Oct. 14, DPS dismantled indoor pot-growing operations in three different Austin-area houses, seizing 251 “high-grade” pot plants and more than 10 pounds of harvested dope.

DPS says it arrested four men in connection with the grow ops (Jake and Joel Redden, Ronald Kinsell and Ryan Sansom), and that the investigation is ongoing.
