A South Lake Tahoe man was arrested early Thursday by officers from the South Lake Tahoe-El Dorado County Narcotics Enforcement Team after they served a search warrant and found 300 pounds of marijuana plant trimmings.
Dwayne Allan Crenshaw,36, was arrested at his Fresno Avenue home and is accused of using the trimmings to create concentrated cannabis oils through several methods, including butane fuel extraction, a dangerous process that can cause an explosion and is a felony in California.
Agents found 180 expended and 65 partially-used butane fuel canisters. They seized 10 ounces of concentrated cannabis in addition to the marijuana trimmings.
As of Saturday evening, Crenshaw is not listed as being in the El Dorado County Jail.
