2 Arrested in Morrison County Marijuana Grow Operation

MOTLEY -- Two people have been arrested for allegedly growing and selling marijuana in Morrison County.

The Morrison County Sheriff's Office says a SWAT team searched a home in the 3300 block of Scandia Drive near Motley at about 6:00 p.m. yesterday (Tuesday).

Several months of investigation by the Central Minnesota Violent Offender Task Force found that marijuana was being actively sold from the house.

During the search, officers discovered a large marijuana grow operation and arrested 48-year-old Gary Jackman of Cushing and 26-year-old Arielle Siordia of Little Falls.

Both were taken to Morrison County Jail on drug possession charges. Jackman is also facing felony charges.

The investigation was also aided by the state patrol and Pierz Police Department.
