A Sacramento man taken into custody last week on drug charges faces a second arrest stemming from the same raid on a motel he owns in the Nevada desert.

Raghvendra “Raj” Singh, 52, posted $50,000 bail early Thursday, 12 hours after being picked up at his midtown Sacramento fourplex on a felony fugitive warrant out of Mineral County, Nev.

On Tuesday, Handte said the district attorney was preparing a second arrest warrant based on the weight of the marijuana, which this week was determined by a scale at the Hawthorne Army Depot to be 144 pounds.

Singh faces a separate criminal investigation in Northern California after a drug task force raided two of his rural properties in El Dorado County on Sept. 5 and seized more than 100 marijuana plants.

    He’s a victim. He was just trying to help the poor and sick by giving them lung cancer and he was helping the planet by using enough power for a dozen houses and enough water for the same by growing black market non-taxed dope and then distributing the drugs to wreck and ruin more lives.

    Ruining peoples lives over a plant, now that’s criminal. Legalize cannabis for all uses.

    Arod, is it ok that one of the biproducts of this plant is honey oil, a concentration of the plant? And to get this biproduct a renter in my friends house blew up his house in the process of making honey oil. Yeah, I guess we wouldnt want to have anyone be a victim by being responsible for their actions. Its just a plant. I think opium is just a plant too, poppy, and valium is just from a plant, oh ya, mushrooms and peyote are just plants, lets see, im sure there are others out there that I dont even know about.
