GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Police used a robot while executing a search warrant on a suspected drug house Wednesday morning.

Officers surrounded a house in the 3000 block of Dean Lake Road around 8 a.m. Two people were believed to be inside but only one person was found.

Police say the second person believed to be inside had outstanding warrants and they were worried about a possibly confrontation. A SWAT robot was deployed as a precaution, but the second suspect was not located.

The suspect taken into custody claimed to have a valid medical marijuana license.

Authorities say the search warrant execution posed no threat to the community and the investigation is ongoing.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (March 5 2014) — One person is arrested with the possibility of more arrests to come after law enforcement surround a home that was said to be illegally growing drugs.

The Kent Area Narcotics Enforcement Team got a tip that the home, located in the 3000 block of Dean Lake Road, had a medical marijuana growing operation inside.

They arrested one person and were told another person with outstanding warrants was still inside.

The Michigan State Police Bomb Squad was called out and searched the home with their robot. Officers had to shut down part of the Dean Lake Road between 3 and 4 Mile while they did their search.

“When we got inside, we determined it was medical marijuana grow operation.” explained Lt. Al Roetman with the Kent County SHeriff’s Department.

“The person we had in custody claims to have their cards and are a caregiver so we will investigate to see where that goes from here.”

Officers said there was never any threat to neighbors.

The investigation continues. Law enforcement said medical marijuana is a huge issue for them; one that definitely keeps them busy.

Thanks

 

Good thing he had card's because things would have been a lot worse for him with out them

Actually the cards weren't Michigan Medical Marijuana cards at all.  They were from the Hasbro game 'Famous Villians' but apparently the police didn't know this. 

 

They are now trying to track down apparent accomplices in the grow operation.  They have issued warrants for one Adolph A. Histler, John Wilkes Boone, Lee H. Orwell, and some guy named Ghengis Korn

If the landlord didn't want marijuana growing inside then the CG is a criminal, but if the landlord allowed the renter to grow, then he is an accomplice to manufacturing/delivery of a schedule 1 controlled substance, and maintaining a drug house... my guess..
