Man accidentally shoots self at gun show
ATLANTA, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Authorities in Georgia said a deputy who walked into the open front door of a home discovered more than $7.4 million worth of marijuana.
The Walton County Sheriff's Office said the deputy discovered 800 marijuana plants and several 1,000-watt lamps in the basement of the house. The renter, Quang Hung Le, 28, was arrested, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday.
The sheriff's office said power company workers were called in to ensure the wires in the basement were not a hazard after the lights were removed.
Le was taken to the Walton County Jail.
