DETROIT - Officials busted a marijuana grow operation right across the street from the 11th precinct station on Detroit's east side, Chief James Craig said.

Police said about $127,420 worth of marijuana was found Monday in a building that used to be Piper Liquor.

Craig said officers smelled a strong odor Sunday. They didn't know where it was coming from, but they recognized it as marijuana, Craig said.

"Today, they just started sniffing around," Craig said. "Through some diligent police work, they were able to identify this location behind us: a closed liquor store. As they (got close to) the liquor store, the odor was very strong."

Police searched the building and found 46 marijuana plants, which comes to about 12,742 grams, Craigs said.

"That's pretty substantial," Craig said.

1. I've grown a lot of weed.

I've never had a plant that produced anything close to 10 ounces. They must have been gigantic or Craig is full of shit. I know which I'm voting for.
