- Description:
- In this series of WSB newsfilm clips from October 23, 1979, law enforcement officials are searching for and destroying marijuana crops in the mountains of Georgia. The clips begin with a shot of a small trailer in the woods. This is followed by shots of a police care and a group of men walking in the woods. Next are shots of the men looking at a large crop of marijuana plants. This is followed by many shots of the plants and shots of the men walking around. The clips end with reporter Ernie Bjorkman speaking. He talks about the marijuana being to wet to green and wet to burn, so the police will have to use a bulldozer to destroy the plants. The final shot is of a WSB helicopter sitting in the field.
