FAIRFIELD, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say they have discovered a marijuana growing operation at a home near a southeast Iowa high school.

The Fairfield Police Department says it executed a search warrant Wednesday at a home close to Fairfield High School owned by 63-year-old Campbell John Hair. Officers found more than 100 plants growing that they suspected to be marijuana.

The Ottumwa Courier reports (https://bit.ly/RWwMlQ ) Hair faces multiples charges, including growing marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. Court records do not list an attorney.



Authorities say Hair may receive additional charges as the investigation continues.
