TRENTON – A local man has been summoned on charges of cultivating marijuana after police seized 48 plants found in his home on his birthday.
Matthew Wasson turned 19 years old last Friday – the day police executed a search warrant at his home off Route 3 and found the plants growing in his bedroom, according to Detective Alan Brown of the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department.
Wasson reportedly was using special lights and a fan to help grow the plants, all of which were just a few inches in height or smaller, Brown said.
Police obtained the search warrant for Wasson’s home after receiving a tip, the detective said.
Brown said Wasson has been cooperative and that police have no indication that the plants growing in his bedroom are part of a larger illegal operation.
