A two week investigation by Pueblo, Crowley and Otero county sheriff's offices ended in an arrest.

Officials say Lloyd Allen Donald was arrested Sunday. He's charged with illegally cultivating, possessing and intending to distribute marijuana.
Detectives say they followed Donald for weeks. During the surveillance, he led them to eight separate marijuana grow operations: five in eastern Pueblo County, two in western Otero County, and one in western Crowley County.

Detectives say they were sophisticated operations that included water pumps, irrigation lines and fertilizer. When detectives searched Donald's home in Pueblo, they found harvested and starter plants, and about two thousand dollars in cash.

The street value of the seized plants is about 85-thousand dollars.
