Two people have been arrested after more than 1,000 marijuana plants were found in a grow house and two additional buildings off King Bostick Road, according to The Newton County Sheriff's Office. According to 1st Lt. Mark Mitchell, the grow house operation was moving marijuana with an estimated street value of $8 million per month. Deputies reported today that the operation was discovered following a routine traffic stop early Sunday when about four pounds of marijuana was found in a car.
