If you've noticed helicopters flying in various area of Chattooga County today, it's the Governor's Drug Task Force and the Chattooga County Drug Task Force looking for marijuana growing in the county.

According to Chattooga County Sherriff John Everett the hunt for pot plants has been on since about 9 a.m.

Just after 2 p.m. today, about 10 members of the local and state drug task force were waiting on the ground for word that marijuana had been found. However, so far nothing had been found.

The flyover began with two helicopters but was reduced to one by mid afternoon. Everett said the helicopter search will continue until about 4 this afternoon. We will have more information as it becomes available.
