An Orem man was arrested Friday night for allegedly stealing some items from his neighbor's house, including several marijuana plants.
Officers responded Friday night to a family fight in the area of 1500 South and 280 East. When officers arrived, they discovered that the dispute was about some possibly stolen property in the possession of 32-year-old Dustin Morgan, according to Orem police Lt. Doug Edwards. The property included a flat-screen TV, Xbox 360 and marijuana plants, complete with grow lights and related equipment.
Officers arrested Morgan on charges of theft and burglary, Edwards said. Officers tried contacting Jacob Huff, 23, who owns the stolen property, but he was not home.
On Sunday, officers contacted Huff as he was walking to his home, according to Edwards. Huff had been parking his truck down the street and around the corner, instead of in his driveway.
Huff told officers that he was missing a flat-screen TV and an XBox 360, but denied owning the recovered marijuana plants, Edwards said.
He allowed officers to search his home, where they found evidence of drug paraphernalia, including a box of dirt mailed to Huff from Arkansas.
Huff was arrested on suspicion of cultivating marijuana. Huff was also booked into the Utah County Jail. |
