West Precinct undercover detectives tonight arrested 37-year-old Micah Collin Sharp for running a marijuana grow operation inside his home at 2710 Alameda Street.
Sharp had dedicated two bedrooms of the house to cultivating marijuana. Recovered, in addition to special lights and growing supplies, were 87 marijuana plants in various stages of growth, 1.5 pounds of processed marijuana, five potent marijuana cookies, and two semi-automatic pistols.
“This investigation by the West Precinct’s Crime Suppression Unit has eliminated a significant marijuana grow operation from a neighborhood that also includes Hadley Park and TSU,” Chief Ronal Serpas said. “That’s important because grow operations can breed other criminal activity and violence.”
Sharp, who claims to be unemployed, refused to talk to detectives about the marijuana. He is being charged with possession of marijuana for resale within 1,000 feet of a public park, manufacturing marijuana within 1,000 feet of a public park, a Crooks with Guns violation for having firearms in the same house as the marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Sharp’s 1991 Lexus sedan was also seized.
