A 50-year-old St. Joseph man was arrested Monday afternoon after police found a marijuana grow operation inside his home.
Officers were sent to the home, in the 900 block of Lions Park Drive, shortly after noon to serve a drug warrant, police said in a press release.
When they did, they discovered about 110 live marijuana plants, along with packaged marijuana.
The man, whose name has not been released, was taken to the Berrien County Jail. He faces unspecified additional charges that are under review by the prosecutor's office.
It was the second sizable drug bust in as many days in the area. On Sunday, a 26-year-old Goshen man was arrested after police found 10 pounds of marijuana in his vehicle.
The man was arrested for possession and dealing marijuana.
He was pulled over just after 4 p.m. at the intersection of South Indiana and West Plymouth avenues, the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department said.
A bystander at the scene, in the parking lot of the Speedy Mart store, told SBT24/7 News that large trash bags were stacked on its hood as police continued their search of the vehicle.
He also faces a weapons charge after police found a gun during the arrest.
