arrested Colby Weymouth, 20, on charges of aggravated cultivating of marijuana and possession of heroin, both Class C felonies.
On Friday evening, state troopers and an agent from the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency went to an Industry Road home to conduct a probation check on someone living with Weymouth at 50 Industry Road, Casavant said. When they arrived, they detected an odor of green marijuana.
A search warrant was applied for and carried out with the assistance of Franklin County sheriff's officers where 48 marijuana plants were being grown. They also found a loaded rifle and a small amount of heroin, the trooper said.
The street value of the heroin is about $300 and if all the marijuana plants grew to maturation, the street value would be about $72,000, Casavant said. Weymouth was released on $1,000 cash bail.
