An indoor commercial pot growing operation at a residence on
Escondido Avenue in Wasilla was raided and shut down Wednesday.
At about 1:30p.m., investigators with the Alaska State Troopers
Statewide Drug Enforcement Unit and The Alaska Bureau of
Investigation served a search warrant on the home, seizing 170
live marijuana plants and about five pounds of processed
marijuana valued at around $60,000.
They also found three minor children living in the home,
resulting in additional charges.
Charges for fourth-degree misconduct involving a controlled
substance and three counts of contributing to the
delinquency of a minor are being forwarded to the Palmer
District Attorney's Office, and no names have yet been released. |
