House Fire Leads to Marijuana Arrests
|
MILFORD, CT (AP) -- Four Milford residents face drug charges after authorities discovered that a fire in their home involved burning marijuana plants.
Twenty-nine-year-old Leslie Defrancesco and 33-year-old Ethan Mayo face charges including operating a drug factory.
Thirty-three-year-old James LeClair and 32-year-old and Michael Mikiens face possession charges.
Firefighters say the fire began Wednesday when a grow light placed in a closet that had been converted into a growing room ignited a burlap bag.
The smell of the smoke led authorities to the plants. Firefighters ventilated the house, which suffered minor damage. |
