CARIBOU – A Sherman man who allegedly booby-trapped his marijuana growing operation was indicted Friday by the Aroostook County grand jury on charges stemming from a drug raid in September.
Jeff Mitchell, 28, was indicted on charges of aggravated marijuana cultivation, reckless conduct with a firearm and criminal forfeiture.
Mitchell allegedly rigged a shotgun with the hammer cocked in the firing position in a tree in such a way that would have caused it to discharge had someone entered an area behind his Gallison Road home where he allegedly was growing marijuana.
