JACKSON TWP. — A Brown County man faces felony and misdemeanor charges after police executed a search warrant on a property on Lick Creek Road in September and found marijuana growing.

Charges were filed against Jordan P. Kyle, 29, on Oct. 19.

The charges stem from a search warrant that was served Sept. 21, according to a probable cause affidavit by Det. Paul Henderson with the Brown County Sheriff’s Department.

Police initially entered a workshop on the property. Henderson reported the upper floor smelled of marijuana, but nothing illegal was found upstairs in the shop or office areas.

Downstairs, police reported smelling more marijuana. In a room downstairs, officers found a filing cabinet with at least six small marijuana plants along with an LED grow light and exhaust equipment. There was also a chart tracking the plant growth, the affidavit states.

In a safe downstairs, police found several glass jars of dried marijuana along with multiple soil additives and other items associated with gardening.

Downstairs, police removed a panel on the wall and found a closet with six marijuana plants that were close to harvest, along with several LED lights, a watering system, an exhaust system and a second growth chart.

Next to the closet area was a dresser with multiple fertilizers and soil additives inside.

In another room of the basement area, police found a table with several marijuana grinders on them and a smoking device that smelled of burnt marijuana, the report said.

Police also reported finding marijuana seeds individually packaged and labeled with what type they were.

A home on the property was also searched, but it was in a state of “disarray,” and the only illegal item found was a wooden dugout with a wooden one-hitter inside which smelled of burnt marijuana.

Mail was found in the home that was addressed to Kyle at that address.

Kyle was charged with maintaining a common nuisance — controlled substances, a Level 6 felony; two counts of possession of marijuana, Class B misdemeanors; and possession of paraphernalia, a Class C misdemeanor.
