QUARRYVILLE, Pa. — A Lancaster County man is facing multiple charges after police say they broke up a marijuana-growing operation in his Quarryville home.
James A. Baker was arrested Tuesday morning after Quarryville Police raided his home on the 200 block of Park Avenue -- which adjoins the property at Quarryville Elementary School, police said.
The raid was the result of a 10-month operation launched by police after officers received multiple complaints from the public regarding suspected illegal activities at the home, according to police.
After executing a search warrant at the home, officers discovered a "full marijuana grow operation" in the home, police claim. The operation included several full-grown marijuana plants in an indoor greenhouse, according to police.
Investigators also discovered a firearm, U.S. currency, bookkeeping information, scales, and packaging materials, police said.
Baker is charged with Possession with Intent to Manufacture and Deliver a Controlled Substance, Possession of Instruments of a Crime, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. He was arraigned at District Court 02-3-04 and was committed to Lancaster County Prison after failing to post $100,000.00 bail.
"This investigation is still ongoing and additional arrests are anticipated," the police department said.
