PAGE B6 DRUGS Feds won't reclassify pot; research allowed Staff report SACRAMENTO A federal grand jury returned a four- count indictment Thursday against Francisco Barcel- los-Ramirez, 34, of Mexico, charging him with conspir- ing to manufacture and manufacturing marijuana, damaging public lands and harming a police canine, said acting U.S. Attorney Phillip Talbert. According to court docu- ments, between April 30 and July 21 Barcellos-Ramirez conspired to cultivate mar- ijuana in the Shasta-Trin- ity National Forest, near the town of Wildwood. He was arrested on July 21 when law enforcement searched the marijuana-cultivation site that contained more than 1,600 marijuana plants. During the arrest, Barcel- los-Ramirez stabbed a police dog several times in the neck and face. The dog had to be transported by helicopter to Redding for emergency med- ical care but survived. This case is the product of an investigation by the U.S. Forest Service, the Trinity County Sheriff's Office and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Del- gado is prosecuting the case. If convicted of the drug offenses, Barcellos-Ramirez faces a mandatory mini- mum penalty of 10 years in prison, and a maximum pen- alty of life in prison and a $10 million fine. The remain- ing crimes carry a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. COURT Man indicted for pot grow, stabbing police dog By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Tehama County Department of So- cial Services undertook Baking For The Badge Thursday in order to spread gratitude to all law enforcement agencies in the county. "Our agency is doing what we are calling Bak- ing for the Badge," said Fair Hearings Officer Carol Backus, who helped orga- nize the effort. "We are in a bad climate for law en- forcement and we want to show the local law enforce- ment agencies that Social Services supports them." Last week, the group sent out an e-mail inviting co-workers to participate, but with no sign-up re- quired organizers weren't sure what they were going to get, Backus said. In the end, they had enough to take three sep- arate car loads of baked goods. "We asked our cowork- ers to bake whatever good- ies they want to make and we originally planned to divide them up to deliver out to Corning Police, Red Bluff Police, Tehama County Sherriff's and the District Attorney's Bureau of Investigations guys," Backus said. "We have a generous group of work- ers here in our office and even had one family who made homemade dog bis- cuits for the K-9s." An employee at So- cial Services has a spouse who works for the Califor- nia Highway Patrol in an- other office, so organizers wanted to be sure to in- clude CHP, Backus said. "I came in this morn- ing and it was amazing," Backus said. Due to the number of baked goods donated, they also were delivered to Te- hama County Probation, Juvenile Hall, the Day Re- porting Center and the Tehama County Jail. Even Red Bluff Fire got a plate of brownies, since the depart- ment is next door to Red Bluff Police. At each stop in the af- ternoon delivery, there were smiles as soon as the plates arrived and several GRATITUDE COUNTY WORKERS BAKE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT Tehama County Department of Social Services delivered homemade treats to every law enforcement department in Tehama County Thursday as part of operation Baking For The Badge to say thank you.
