An indoor marijuana grow house will cost a Beersheba Street man six months behind bars.
The man, Jesse Colton Norwood, 24, was directed by Circuit Court Judge Bart Stanley to serve six months of a five-year sentence and pay $2,750 for attempted manufacture of marijuana, possession of oxycodone and drug paraphernalia and possession of a weapon during a felony.
His sentence comes after lawmen found a hydro growing farm with six plastic containers that were being used to grow marijuana in his closet. Officers also reported finding plant food, rolling papers, baggies and digital scales. They also found an SKS rifle in the same closet. He had to forfeit the weapon.
