Marijuana grow operation busted in Boise County

BOISE COUNTY – Two people have been arrested and face felony charges in connection to what authorities are calling a sophisticated marijuana grow operation.

Deputies with the Boise County Sheriff's Office served a search warrant at a home last Thursday after receiving a tip about some illegal activity.
