Former Atascadero resident Thomas Bletko, 50, previously dealt in drug pipes, of which thousands are reported to be stored in an Atascadero storage unit.
Police were tipped off when a pair of farm laborers said they had been paid for their work with marijuana. An Oregon State Police trooper discovered a pound of marijuana in the workers’ Honda Civic during a routine traffic stop.
