Authorities seized 130 marijuana plants on Jan. 5 from a home owned by a retired Metro Police officer, a Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman said.
A High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas unit raided the rural home in the 1200 block of Trout Canyon Road near state Route 160, about 40 miles outside of the valley, said Sarah Pullen, a spokeswoman for the DEA, which oversees HIDTA.
According to Clark County assessor records, the home belongs to Tony Novack, 65. He retired in 2002 after 33 years of service, said Metro spokesman Bill Cassell. The house is a rental property that is up for sale, officials said. Novack is not considered a suspect in the case, Pullen said.
No charges have been filed, and the investigation is ongoing, Pullen said.
