WAYNE COUNTY -- Wayne County investigators say it wasn't there biggest find, but 9,000 marijuana plants is still enough to get some attention.
After getting a tip, investigators found an illegal marijuana growing operation on the north slope of Boulder Mountain last week. One man was arrested, and deputies say he isn't in the country legally.
Boulder Mountain, which is near Capitol Reef National Park, has been a place for these types of operations before.
Last August, investigators found nearly 20,000 mature marijuana plants in the area, making it the largest find in Utah history.
