On October 5, 2022, personnel from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, Riverside County Code Enforcement, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, served five marijuana cultivation related search warrants in the unincorporated county area of Anza. While conducting the searches, approximately 3140 marijuana plants and 4148 pounds of processed marijuana was eradicated from several indoor and outdoor structures. During the investigation Billy Shuming Louie, a 50-year-old resident of Los Angeles County and Curtis D. Miller, a 64-year-old resident of Anza, were cited for illegal cultivation of marijuana.
