Police nab four men in Boise drug raids
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Police say they have arrested four men and seized an estimated 115 pounds of marijuana during a Thanksgiving drug bust.

Ada County Sheriff officials say the first arrest netted six pounds of marijuana after an undercover detective bought drugs from one of the men. A raid later in Thursday led to the discovery of about 105 pounds of marijuana from a Caldwell home.

Deputies say the raids began after 26-year-old Jeremy Riggi, 26-year-old Christopher Yardley and 33-year-old Brook Vogt met with an undercover officer to buy five pounds of marijuana.

Police later seized the bigger stash of marijuana, then arrested 27-year-old Michael Tate at a separate residence.

All four suspects are expected to make initial appearances in court Friday.

Police say evidence suggests the men grew the marijuana, possibly in the mountains north of Boise.
