Called to a Sifton home for a 3:30 a.m. for a domestic disturbance, police officers returned at 10 with a search warrant and confiscated $210,000 worth of marijuana.
Approximately 140 plants in all stages of production were removed from the home at 13907 N.E. 89th Circle, according to a news release from the Clark-Skamania Drug Task Force.
The incident began with a middle-of-the-night call of two residents arguing. While on the scene, sheriff’s deputies noticed that part of the 1,100-square-foot ranch house with an attached garage had been converted to a marijuana growing operation.
After the search warrant was obtained and the plants were seized deputies arrested a suspect, John C. Melick, 47, on suspicion of manufacturing marijuana.
