"Now, all four, plus Allen Starr Brown, Sebron Russell, Marquise Cooper, have been charged in federal court with conspiring to burglarize a marijuana grow house at 499 Embarcadero in Oakland, a burglary so brazen that Brown, Russell, and alleged cohort Mark Sanders stole hundreds of plants, drove all the way to Tracy to stash them, returned for a second hall, then called Jones, McGee, Munguia, and Booth to help transport even more."
