KODIAK, Alaska- Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Wade Bryant carries seized evidence from a group of three marijuana growing plots, raided by Alaska State Troopers on August 8, 2005, to a basket lowered from a Coast Guard HH-60 Jayhawk helicopter. The helicopter crew made it easier for troopers to transport the evidence off Spruce Island to Kodiak. Two 69 pound propane tanks that were also seized were attached to the bottom of the aircraft by a hoist-line and brought back to base to be picked up by troopers.
