Centralia police seized roughly 160 marijuana plants when they served a search warrant at a home on Kulien Street in the north end of town yesterday.<\/p>\n

The action followed a week-long investigation by the department’s Anti-Crime unit, according to a news release.<\/p>\n

Police say the plants were in various stages of growth, from starts to fully mature.<\/p>\n

The man who lives in the house said it was medical marijuana, but he “had way too many plants for medical marijuana,” Centralia detective Sgt. Pat Fitzgerald said today.<\/p>\n

Generally, police look upon a supply of 15 of 16 plants to be in line with the many rules under which people are allowed to grow medical marijuana, according to Fitzgerald.<\/p>\n

The man had documentation that he is allowed medical marijuana, as well as documentation for another person, the sergeant said.<\/p>\n

Arrested was Bradley S. Andrews, 56, of Centralia. He was booked into the Lewis County Jail for unlawful manufacture of marijuana and unlawful possession of a firearm. He is a convicted felon and not allowed to possess guns, Fitzgerald said.<\/p>\n

Officers went to the house about 10 a.m. and Andrews was the only one there at the time. The event was fairly “low key”, Fitzgerald said.<\/p>\n

Officers found seedlings being cultivated in a laundry room, medium-sized plants in a bedroom and some as large as 6-feet tall\u00a0 in the garage, according to Fitzgerald. The lighting used in the garage cast the orange glow shown in the photos, he said.<\/p>\n

Also recovered were a pistol, two rifles and equipment commonly used for indoor marijuana cultivation, such as irrigation, ventilation and light systems, according to the news release.<\/p>\n

The plants seized are being stored until they are dry and then will be destroyed, probably by incineration, Fitzgerald said.
