CHARLOTTE (AP) — A Charlotte man has been arrested after drug enforcement agents found 128 marijuana plants growing in a South Carolina home.
Calvin Dai Hoang (Die Hwong), 27, was arrested Tuesday and charged with trafficking and manufacturing marijuana.
The plants were valued at more than $250,000. Officials say the marijuana was primarily sold in Charlotte.
Agents say the Rock Hill, S.C., home was lined with reflective paper and had a “sophisticated” filtration system to cover the marijuana smell.
Hoang rented the two-story home. Agents say his neighbors had no idea Hoang was growing marijuana.
The agents were tipped off to Hoang’s marijuana by narcotics agents in Charlotte.
