Detroit Feds Bust Two Dozen Indoor "Purple Pot" Farms; I.D. Theft, Forgery, Phony Appraisals Allegedly Used To Get Mortgages On Some Of The Houses

In Detroit, Michigan, The Associated Press reports:

• A major marijuana ring in southeastern Michigan involved 22 people and two dozen homes where a potent variety of purple pot was secretly grown and sold, according to a federal indictment unsealed [last week].

• Brian Osburn, 33, of Belleville is accused of being the leader since 2002. He's charged with conspiracy, running a criminal enterprise and aiding mortgage fraud. The 24 grow houses were in Wayne, Oakland and Washtenaw counties. The indictment says some houses also were used to get mortgages through identity theft, forgery and phony appraisals.
