MODESTO — A Central Valley county will try to deter illegal marijuana cultivation by imposing hefty administrative penalties.
The Modesto Bee reports the fines taking effect Dec. 19 in Stanislaus County are $1,000 per day per plant and will be assessed between the time a citation is issued and the growers remove the plants from the site.
The county Board of Supervisors created the new administrative citation process last month.
