It wasn't a garden authorities uncovered when they found 60 marijuana plants ranging in size from six inches to six feet over the weekend.

Portage County Drug Task Force agents arrested and booked 62-year old Robert W. Hart of Deerfield Township into jail on a charge of cultivation of marijuana. It's a felony of the 3rd degree.

Agents say they found the plants at his home in the 10000 block of Higgins Road thanks to a tip on Friday.

The operation was scattered in three rooms inside the home, equipped with growing lights, transformers, humidifiers, fans and filters.

Hart could face additional charges.
