Authorities arrested a man they say was growing marijuana inside his residence.
Detective Lt. Chris Taylor of the McDowell County Sheriff’s Office charged Zachary Allen Mills, 21, of Signal View Drive in Marion with felony manufacturing a Schedule VI controlled substance. Mills’ mother took out charges for communicating threats and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. He was taken into custody in lieu of a $21,000 bond.
Taylor said sheriff’s deputies were called to Mills’ residence Wednesday afternoon, where they spotted three pot plants outside his home. Further investigation revealed that the suspect was growing plants inside, according to Taylor.
The lieutenant added that each of the three confiscated plants was about a foot tall.
