A investigation into a local man operating an indoor
Marijuana growing operation ended today. On Wednesday August 1st,
2018 Lee County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics agents executed a search warrant on
the property located at 6524 Bradley Road, Broadway, the home of Michael Alan
Cheeseman.
Upon entry, agents located a single plant growing in the master bathroom,
along with numerous marijuana plants hanging in the bathroom closet for
processing. Agents also found where Cheeseman had converted marijuana into a
butter and oil both containing high values of THC for consumption or cooking.
Agents found that Cheeseman had actually just finished cooking a dish of
brownies using the butter containing THC sitting on the stove. Agents continued
their search into the shed located just behind the residence and found 13
additional plants growing. Cheeseman had converted the shed into a
sophisticated growing facility supplied with air conditioning, state of the art
LED grow lamps and filtration system to eliminate the odor. In total, agents
seized 7310 grams of marijuana, butter and oils all of which contained high
values of THC.
Cheeseman was transported to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office by
agents for processing. Cheeseman was charged with 1 count of trafficking
Marijuana by manufacturing, one count of trafficking Marijuana by possession,
possession with the intent to sell and deliver Marijuana, felony maintaining a
dwelling place, and an out building for the manufacturing, storage, use and
sells of an illegal controlled substance, and misdemeanor possession of drug
paraphernalia.
Cheeseman was jailed under a $200,000.00 secured bond.
