ZANESVILLE — The discovery this week of a marijuana growing encampment signals more than a disturbing trend, a law enforcement official said Thursday. It may mean a form of organized crime has arrived in southeastern Ohio. On Sunday, Perry County sheriff’s deputies, responding to a separate call in a remote, isolated area of Perry County near the Muskingum County line, arrested seven men thought to be Mexican Nationals. The next day an agent of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification flying in a helicopter detected five apparent plots of marijuana growing in a heavily wooded area of Muskingum County and close to the area where the Mexicans were arrested.
