(KAIR)--The Atchison County man, arrested in connection with a grow operation at his residence, has waived his right to a preliminary hearing, entering a plea of guilty.

44-year-old Lancaster resident John Shufflebarger is charged with possession of marijuana, a second offense, possession of meth, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He will be sentenced in Atchison County District Court October 28.

Shufflebarger allowed deputies to search his home at 105 Kansas Street in August, according to a report from the Atchison County Sheriff’s Department.

There, they discovered a marijuana grow operation in a closet. Shufflebarger also revealed to deputies a wooden box containing what was believed to be methamphetamine.
