Scarsdale's Andrea Sanderlin has pleaded not guilty to charges of operating a multi-million dollar marijuana growing operation. Sanderlin is accused of growing and trying to sell more than 1,000 marijuana plants out of a Queens warehouse. The charges contrast with the mother of three's lifestyle, which recently included horseback riding lessons with her daughter at Twin Lakes Farm riding academy in Bronxville.Â
Investigators say the marijuana in the warehouse was worth millions-of-dollars. The facility had multiple rooms with state-of-the-art lighting, irrigation and ventilation, according to DEA special Agent David Lee.
The 45-year-old would allegedly drive her Mercedes SUV from her mansion in Scarsdale on a regular basis to check on her crops at the warehouse, according to court documents.Â
Sanderlin is being held in a Brooklyn jail. Her next court appearance is scheduled for July 15. Her lawyer is asking for her to be released on bail.
