who publicly vouched for Kamfolt <\/a>following news of his arrest.<\/p>\n\u201cIt came to my attention today that a supporter and I\u2019ll even say a friend of mine was arrested last night, and my heart is truly broken,\u201d Crye said.<\/p>\n
The supervisor, who described Kamfolt as a family man with a wife and kids, called on the public to show respect and restraint as the investigation unfolds.<\/p>\n
\u201cRemember, we are innocent until proven guilty,\u201d Crye said, vaguely referencing \u201cissues\u201d in Kamfolt\u2019s life.
Highway Patrol initially received a tip in December about the suspected illegal grow house on Kamfolt\u2019s property.<\/p>\n
Officers obtained a search warrant on January 20 and discovered the bunker equipped for marijuana growing in addition to the weapons cache.<\/p>\n
