Bowe Berdahl, the soldier who was worth the release of five terrorists from Gitmo, was found in the middle of a pot bust in northern California.

Captian Greg Van Patten with the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Thursday that the county’s marijuana eradication team encountered Bergdahl on Tuesday while serving a search warrant on a home in Redwood City, Calif.

Van Patten said Bergdahl was detained, but ultimately was “determined not to be connected to the operation, at least there was no evidence to suggest he was involved.”

Van Patten said that Bergdahl identified himself when he encountered the law enforcement team. The Department of Defense confirmed Bergdahl was on leave and, Fox News reports "asked for their assistance in getting him back."

The military always seems to be trying to get this guy back.

A spokesman for the Army, Cynthia O. Smith, confirmed Bergdahl was picked up in California.

"U.S. Army North was contacted by the Mendocino County Sheriff's office on July 21 regarding an incident within their jurisdiction in which SGT Bowe Bergdahl was present,” Smith said.

“SGT Bergdahl was on authorized leave in California at that time. He was not arrested and has returned to his duty station at Fort Sam Houston He has not been charged with any crime involving his time on leave,” she added.
