(KNZA)--An investigation into the report of a child in need of care leads to the discovery of home-grown marijuana plants and to the arrest of two.

It happened in Hiawatha, when a Brown County Sheriff’s Deputy, Sunday night, received the report pertaining to the child; and, following an investigation, Sheriff John Merchant, in a release, says, “it was learned that illegal drug activity was present at that location.”

Among items allegedly found by authorities were a number of cultivated marijuana plants and grow lights.

50-year-old Eric Clary and 37-year-old Starlette Clary, both of Hiawatha, were taken into custody for felony cultivation of a controlled substance, two counts of felony child endangerment, no drug tax stamp, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
