The raid took place at a 7,500 sq. ft building located at the 3600 block of Chisholm Road in Iron City, Tennessee. District Attorney Brent Cooper called the bust the “most elaborate indoor grow/extraction operation” he’s seen in his career.
This raid was part of the arrest made in Colbert County on Friday, December 20 of Dr, Stuart Marc Greenberg who has been charged in Alabama with drug trafficking and two counts of possession of a controlled substance.
Additional charges in Tennessee against Greenberg are four charges including manufacture of marijuana, conspiracy of manufacturing marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
