CASA GRANDE (Aug. 30) — The Pinal County Narcotics Task Force on Aug. 28 made three drug-related arrests after executing a search warrant based on a tip.

The search, carried out in the 15700 block of West Ashmoore in Casa Grande, led to the discovery of a marijuana-growing operation at that location, Pinal County Sheriff’s Office Spokesman Mike Minter said.

After further investigation, authorities seized a large marijuana plant, which is estimated to have yielded about 1 to 2 pounds of marijuana. There was also paraphernalia and a small amount of usable marijuana at the house.

PCSO took three suspects into custody and booked them into the Pinal County Jail after they admitted involvement in the growing of the marijuana.

Timothy Knott, 24, Harley Rodrick, 20, and Jeffrey Couse, 18, were all arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, producing marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
