On October 8, 2008, a federal arrest warrant was issued for John Robert Boone out of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, charging him with the manufacture and possession with intent to manufacture and distribute marijuana. The charges resulted from the an investigation by Kentucky State Police and the DEA finding over 2,000 marijuana plants on Boone’s Springfield, KY farm. Boone is currently detained in Canada on immigration charges and awaiting extradition to the U.S.
