Independence Township — A crash between two cars ended up with the arrest of a 26-year-old Independence Township man for growing and possessing marijuana in his home.
Oakland County Sheriff's Deputies were called to an address in the 500 block of Sunnyside Drive at about 10:30 p.m. Saturday after receiving reports of a crash between two vehicles.
One vehicle had careened off the road and struck the home, damaging its gas meter and requiring the meter's replacement by Consumers Energy.
Fearing a gas leak in the home, repairmen forced their way into the home along with members of the Independence Township Fire Department.
Once inside, they found a sophisticated marijuana growing operation in the basement.
Firefighters alerted the Oakland County Narcotics Enforcement team who arrived to confiscated 12 plants, four pounds of usable marijuana packed in 20 separate Mason jars, two digital scales, packaging materials and documents.
They also seized $221 in cash, a lap top computer and a marijuana growing manual.
The homeowner returned during the search process and was arrested. He is currently lodged in the Oakland County Jail.
