On 04/22/2014 at approximately 1100 hours, Deputies conducted a traffic stop of Antione Glasper, 51 of Porterville in the area of Worth and Road 284. During the stop, Deputies located approximately 1.4 grams of methamphetamine packaged for sale. Believing that Glasper was engaged in the sales and transportation of narcotics, a search warrant was obtained for his residence in furtherance of their investigation. Deputies executed the search warrant at Glasper's residence located in the 27400 block of Avenue 146 and located a large  marijuana grow, sawed off shotgun, ammunition, numerous meth pipes and narcotics packaging material. Deputies eradicated 627 immature plants which if allowed to mature would have produced a potential estimated 1.5 million dollars worth of marijuana.
