(JENNINGS CO.) - Police destroyed nearly 100 marijuana plants found behind a business in Jennings County Thursday morning.
State police working with the Jennings County Sheriff's Department found 99 marijuana plants growing behind an old school house at 4465 N. CR 300 W in Jennings County. Scott Smith, 42, of North Vernon, operates a taxidermy business in the building, police said.
The plants were photographed, seized and destroyed.
