CARTERSVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- An anonymous tip led the Bartow County Sheriff's office to what may be the largest marijuana bust in the county's history Friday.
Captain Brenton Garmon said approximately 15 hundred plants with an estimated value of at least $3.7 million were found at the home of 54-year-old Grady James Padgett.
Each plant has a value of about $2,500.
Garmon said more plants were found on property around the home.
Padgett is charged with one count each of trafficking marijuana and manufacturing marijuana.
Garmon said more arrests are not expected. He said the department investigated the tip for about a week before making the search and arrest today.
