All the plants were destroyed.

“In addition to the marijuana plants, deputies located a firearm inside the main residence,” Pierson said.

The property owner, identified as Alonzo Ivory, 64, was arrested on suspicion of illegal marijuana cultivation and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
