Hudson, Florida -- Deputies say they have shut down a marijuana grow house, seizing 94 pot plants and arresting the resident, 31-year-old Jason Robert Stoner.

Investigators say he may also be in trouble with the power company, since he tampered with the electric meter to bypass the wiring and run his grow lights.

Deputies say Stoner admitted he started cultivating marijuana in his home last January. The plants ranged from 3 to 4 feet high when seized.

Also confiscated were grow lights, fans, rolling papers and other paraphernalia, deputies said.

Stoner, a self-employed handyman, was taken to the Land O'Lakes jail and released on $3,500 bond.
