LINCOLN, Neb.
(AP) - Authorities say they discovered a budding marijuana-growing operation
after residents of a Lincoln
house called police to report the theft of marijuana pipes.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that officers were called to the house Saturday
morning. Residents had reported that two people, one of them armed with a
handgun, forced their way inside the house and took two hookah pipes.
Officers questioning the residents
noticed marijuana, paraphernalia and several bottles of fertilizer. They also
saw light shining from under a door barred with a padlock and a power cord
snaking into the room.
After getting a search warrant,
police say they found three marijuana plants, grow lights and other equipment.
Police arrested a 19-year-old man on
suspicion of manufacturing marijuana and ticketed his roommates for having
marijuana paraphernalia.
