ZEPHYRHILLS - Pasco County detectives have arrested three men in connection with operating a grow house and seized about 230 pounds of marijuana, the sheriff's office said.
Agents from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration originally searched the house at 3315 Anata Drive. They found a grow-house operation in two of the rooms and contacted deputies to make the arrests Tuesday night.
Arrested on one count each of marijuana cultivation were Juan Carlos Pajon, 56, and Eutimo Ramon Viloa, 51, who live at the house; and Ivan Cardosa, 44, of 2600 N.W. 11th Ave., Miami. Each was being held at the Land O' Lakes Jail with bail set at $5,000.
About 23 pounds of pot packaged in 1-pound bags ready for distribution was found on the floor of the house, according to sheriff's office spokesman Kevin Doll. Also, 104 plants were seized for a total of 230 pounds of marijuana.
