Joseph Hsu, 30, a convicted felon and suspected member of the Chinese street gang known as Wah Ching, was arrested Thursday, along with Pauline McDonnell, 22, of Redlands, at Hsu's rented condominium.
Wah Ching is a major Asian gang known for narcotics and weapons trafficking, along with extortion and other crimes. Sheriff's Sgt. Steve Kim said investigators believe the suspect was growing the pot to benefit the gang.
