The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office put two and two together after a fire occurred last week at a residence just outside Eureka city limits.

Their suspicion of an indoor marijuana growing operation taking place there led deputies to pay a visit to the 6400 block of Eggert Road this morning, where they contacted 48-year-old resident Bradley John Chrisler. He is subject to a form of probation which requires him to submit to law enforcement searches upon request.

In their search, the HCSO located 535 growing marijuana plants, over 11 pounds of bud and three hypodermic syringes.

Chrisler was promptly arrested and transported to county jail without incident, where he was booked on charges of cultivating marijuana, possessing marijuana for sales, possessing a hypodermic syringe and violating his probation. He posted $20,000 bail, according to HCSO public information officer Brenda Godsey, and will be arraigned on Sept. 1.
