PAWNEE COUNTY- Law enforcement authorities in Pawnee County are investigating a suspect for growing marijuana.

On Tuesday after a month-long investigation, the Pawnee County Sheriff’s Office responded to a possible court order violation in the county, according to a social media report.

Officers made contact with the homeowner, but were unable to make contact with the subject violating the court order.

The subject’s vehicle was on the property and no other vehicles came to the property. The homeowner granted Sheriff’s Officers permission to cut a lock on a shed located on the property where the subject was hiding.

After numerous verbal commands and threatening to release the Pawnee County Sheriff’s Office K9, Bodie, the subject showed one of his hands.

The subject refused to show both hands or come to where officers could see his entire body. Officers gained control of the subject and placed him in handcuffs. There were no injuries.

Officers were able to smell a strong odor of marijuana inside the shed and found a clear plastic bag containing marijuana in plain sight.

Officers also found drug paraphernalia next to the marijuana.

Officers gained information of a marijuana grow taking place on the property owned by the subject. Permission was granted for officers to look on the adjacent property for illegal narcotics. Officers found numerous marijuana plants placed in rows, with water barriers around them. Thirty mature marijuana plants were documented and seized as evidence as a result of the search warrant.
 No names were released.
