Deputies securing a clandestine field of marijuana Tuesday found plants tied to stakes with tape bearing the Department of Homeland Security logo and the words "inspected."
The tape has "Transportation Security Administration" written in bold letters, the Corsicana Daily Sun reported Tuesday. It looks like the kind used to mark inspected bags and freight, said Navarro County Sheriff Les Cotten. It wasn't immediately clear whether the tape was authentic or how it ended up in the field.
The find was made at a field two miles west of Emhouse, 45 miles southeast of Dallas, and was near several homes. The marijuana plants were hidden behind a tree line about 100 yards off the roadway, Cotten said.
Officials found more than 2,000 plants, most of them growing and some being dried, sheriff's Capt. Elmer Tanner said.
