Mortgage Fraud Charges Tacked On To Three Suspects Facing Charges Of Running 10 Indoor Florida Pot Farms

In Port St. Lucie, Florida, TC Palm reports:

• Three people already sitting in jail on multiple drug charges were charged with mortgage fraud Tuesday. Law enforcement officials allege Juan Carlos Calderon-Mencriff, 41, Carmen E. Fernandez, 48, and Jorge Luis Fernandez, 58, all of Port St. Lucie, were part of an extensive father-and-son pot-growing operation that allegedly used a local home-building company as a front and a network of workers to cultivate hundreds of pounds of marijuana. Roberto Alberto Cepero and his son, Roberto Patricio Cepero — the father and son officials suspect ran the operation — were arrested in November, along with 20 others as part of an investigation that focused on those associated with Global Homes Builders Inc. and that shut down 10 marijuana grow houses in St. Lucie County.
