Those men, both undocumented immigrants, were detained last month during a marijuana field raid near Skunk Creek, north of Phoenix. They told authorities they tended to the 8,000 plants as repayment for being smuggled across the border, according to DPS.DPS Director Roger Vanderpool said Mexican drug cartels have been behind the pot farms in recent years and aren't afraid to resort to brute measures.

Forest Service employees have warned hikers to beware of marijuana operations, which are often manned by armed guards. "They will do whatever it takes to protect their product," Vanderpool: said. "Will it get more violent? Yeah. These folks don't know whether you're a citizen hiking, law enforcement or a rival drug dealer trying to take the crop."
