45-plant Marijuana Grow Operation Found in Boise Home

BOISE (AP) — A 41-year-old Boise man has been accused of felonies in connection to a large marijuana growing operation found inside his home.

KBOI-TV reports that Ada County sheriff's deputies arrested the man last week after a search warrant found 45 plants, about 3 pounds of marijuana trimmings and other supplies.

Sheriff's officials say the sophisticated irrigation, heat and light system in the home suggests the growing operation had been active for some time. The man is scheduled to make a court appearance Jan. 29.
