A Flagler County man who reported a home invasion was arrested Monday
when deputies found more than 100 marijuana plants growing at his
house, they said.

[name redacted], 54, was arrested about 4 a.m. on charges of
cultivating marijuana, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana
and possession of drug paraphernalia.

[name redacted] told deputies that two men had broken into his home on
Fleming Court in Palm Coast and tried to rob him, the Sheriff's Office
said.

[name redacted] gave deputies permission to search inside, they said. That's
when investigators said they found a spare bedroom and a bathroom set
up as grow rooms with lights and pot-growing chemicals.

Deputies confiscated 110 marijuana plants. They could have produced 55
pounds with a street value of $44,000, investigators said.
