According to reports from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office, sheriff’s deputies stopped a car for a traffic violation on Highway WAVE ENERGY FORUM ON COAST 101 north of Willits at around 2:50 p.m. Tuesday. When officers approached the car, they allegedly smelled marijuana and decided to Evolving technology more discussed than tested search the car. The search revealed a small amount of mari- juana, $30,000 in cash and photographs of mari- juana grows, according to sheriff’s reports. Anthony Kim, 29, of La Mirada, and Marco Guerra, 33, of Downey, were both arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana for sale. Further investigation revealed the suspects had a house in Mendocino County, located off Highway 162 near Longvale. On Wednesday, deputies served a search war- rant on the house and found evidence that Kim and Guerra lived there, according to sheriff’s reports. The search also found more than 2,000 mari- juana plants in indoor grow rooms, sales and packaging materials, hallucinogenic mushrooms and MDMA, more commonly known as ecstasy, according to sheriff’s reports. Deputies also found more than $15,000 in cash and several firearms, including a military assault rifle. The house also contained machin- ery and tools necessary to extract THC oil from marijuana, according to sheriff’s reports. THC is extracted from marijuana to make a substance known as “honey oil.” The home also contained a large generator and several gallons of fuel. Fearing environmen- tal contamination, the Sheriff’s Office called rep- resentatives from Mendocino County Environmental Health to remove the fuel and investigate possible contamination, according to sheriff’s reports.

After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.
