LAS VEGAS — A Las Vegas marijuana growing operation was busted after police said its operator led them to it through his YouTube videos.
Police say Jason Pelletier and Stephanie Pelletier, both 35 year old, were taken into custody Friday after an anonymous tipster notified them about the videos.
The videos walk viewers through an area filled with what appears to be marijuana plants and feature discussion about their growing conditions.
Jason Pelletier is accused of posting the videos.
Police say they counted 67 plants and 6.5 pounds of dry marijuana at the couple’s home. Investigators believe other plants were harvested earlier in the week.
Police Lt. Laz Chavez told the Las Vegas Sun Pelletier and his wife, Stephanie Pelletier, will be charged with possession with intent to sell, manufacturing marijuana and possession of marijuana. The plants were stored mainly in the garage but also in bedrooms and storage rooms around the home, he said.
Chavez said an anonymous tipster alerted authorities to the videos, in which an individual walks viewers through a space filled with what appear to be marijuana plants, discussing their growth conditions.
