Two people were booked into the Clallam County jail Thursday after detectives said they found 103 marijuana plants and some methamphetamine in a home east of Port Angeles.
Tharon E. Quent, 42, and Julie L. Anderson, 51, both of Port Angeles, were arrested on investigation of manufacturing marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and possession of methamphetamine, said Clallam County Sheriff’s Sgt. Eric Kovatch of the Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team, or OPNET, in a prepared statement.
The arrests were the result of an investigation into the manufacture and distribution of marijuana, he said.
Information gathered during the investigation was presented to a Clallam County Superior Court judge, who determined that probable cause existed to search Quent and Anderson’s residence in the 100 block of Sunrise Place, which is in unincorporated Clallam County east of Port Angeles.
“Inside the residence, detectives discovered 103 live marijuana plants in three stages of growth and over 10 ounces of processed marijuana,” the statement said. “Also found in the residence was methamphetamine.”
The case will be referred to the Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for consideration of charges.
