Naperville police say Chicago man was growing pot

Naperville police who arrested a Chicago man on pot charges found more than $1 million of marijuana in an indoor-growing operation when they searched his home this week.
The arrest comes just two days after they conducted an apparently unrelated methamphetamine bust of nearly the same value.
 In the latest incident, officers arrested Ronald Sanchez, 32, of the 3200 block of North Oleander Avenue, just after 4 p.m. Thursday for unlawful delivery of cannabis.
Upon searching his Chicago home, police found what they called “a sophisticated cannabis grow operation” that included more than 300 cannabis plants and several plastic bins with the processed drug. They estimate the drugs recovered have a street value of about $1.2 million.
 Sanchez is facing a charge of unlawful delivery of cannabis in DuPage County, and charges of production of cannabis plants and possession with intent to deliver in Cook County.

  1. $1,000,000 worth of pot.

    If it was legal, it would be worth $500.
