BOISE -- Four Ada County men are in jail after a bust that the sheriff's office says turned up more than 120 pounds of marijuana.

Brook Vogt, 33, Christopher Yardley, 26, and Jeremy Riggi, 26, were arrested Thursday afternoon on charges of conspiracy to traffic marijuana.

The Ada County Sheriff's Office says they sold six pounds of pot to an undercover officer near the intersection of Cole and Ustick roads. Investigators then found five pounds in a storage shed at an apartment complex on West Bloom in Boise.

Michael Tate, 27, was arrested at an apartment in Star after officers received information about his alleged involvement.

He is charged with delivering marijuana.

Detectives investigating this case say they also found about 105 pounds of marijuana hidden inside a house on Ronco Avenue in Caldwell.

The street value is estimated to be about $300,000.They believe the marijuana came from large grows found earlier this year in rural areas of Idaho.

The Sheriff's Office says additional arrests are pending.
