EL RENO – Three people have been accused of violating state law in an Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics investigation into an Okarche marijuana grow operation.

Count two is a felony punishable by not more than five years in prison and a fine not more than $10,000.
Count three is a misdemeanor punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.
