Police: DeKalb man found growing marijuana
By ALAN EDRINN

A DeKalb man was arrested after several cannabis plants were found growing in his house.
At 11:28 p.m. Thursday, DeKalb Police responded to a domestic argument at 722 1/2 Prospect St. At the residence, police found drug paraphernalia and seven cannabis plants growing. Police also found items related to cannabis growing, including glow lights, heat lamps and thermometers, said Lt. Gary Spangler of the DeKalb Police Department. Additional cannabis aside from the plants was also found.

Police arrested Tyler J. Petrie, 21, of DeKalb and charged him with possession of cannabis plants, possession of cannabis, possession of cannabis with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia.

“He was growing it, and he had enough that he was probably selling it,” Spangler said.
