|
WENGNews writes, "CHARLOTTE COUNTY NARCOTICS DETECTIVES RAIDED A PORT CHARLOTTE GROW HOUSE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AFTER A DEPUTY PATROLLING COUNTY PROPERTY REPORTED SMELLING A STRONG ODOR OF MARIJUANA COMING FROM A BUILDING ON HERNANDO AVENUE. DEPUTIES SAY THEY CLEARED THE BUILDING AND FOUND 65 PLANTS, WEIGHING NEARLY 44 POUNDS, IN ONE OF THE OUTBUILDINGS BEING GROWN IN A HYDROPONICS MANNER. DETECTIVES ALSO FOUND BAGGIES OF POT WEIGHING ABOUT 20 GRAMS, PLUS VARIOUS QUANTITIES OF PILLS AND TWO GUNS IN THE BEDROOM. THE MAN IN THE HOME, 47 YEAR OLD ARTHUR BLAIS, TOLD AUTHORITIES THAT HE WAS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GROWING OPERATION, AND HE IS A CONVICTED FELON, BUT THE GUNS FOUND WERE NOT REGISTERED TO HIM. BLAIS AND HIS WIFE, 46 YEAR OLD LAURIE JEAN BLAIS, WERE BOTH ARRESTED ON NUMEROUS DRUG CHARGES, WHILE THE CHILDREN IN THE HOME WERE NOT ARRESTED. THEY BOTH MADE BOND AND WERE RELEASED FROM THE CHARLOTTE COUNTY JAIL ON SATURDAY."
