Windsor & Essex County Crime Stoppers called an emergency meeting and immediately ousted Jon-Paul Fuller after learning of his arrest. He also used to work for Aphria, a licensed medical marijuana producer in Leamington, but he was let go from that company more than two years ago.

Fuller, 44, is charged with production of marijuana and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.

“Shame on him if it’s truly proven to come out in the court system,” said Aphria Inc. president and CEO Vic Neufeld. “It’s just illegal. It’s just not right.”

The OPP raided a large property Wednesday at 1935 Fox Run Rd. There are several lots on the property with houses and numerous greenhouse facilities.

Police said they seized 2,900 marijuana plants between eight and 12 feet in height. The plants are worth $2.9 million, according to investigators. Officers also seized about 91 pounds of harvested marijuana worth $180,000.
