JACKSON COUNTY -- An Ocean Springs man accused of growing marijuana at a Vancleave home was using what appeared to be buckets of human feces to try to cover up the smell of the dope, according to a press release from Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd.
County narcotics agents Monday arrested Henry Ha Nguyen, 41, of the 12000 block of Londenderry Lane, on charges of marijuana cultivation, possession of marijuana while in possession of a firearm and possession of meth while in possession of a firearm.
Narcotics agents searched a Vancleave home in the 10000 block of Mississippi 57 and found what was described as a "large-scale marijuana grow operation" in the home. Nguyen allegedly operated the grow room.
Authorities said Nguyen is accused of growing more than 10 pounds of marijuana over a one-year period at the Vancleave home. It's unclear whether anyone lived there.
Authorities said Nguyen had two dogs at the home that he was using for security purposes. Jackson County animal control officers took custody of the dogs.
Authorities then went to the house Nguyen lived in on Londenderry Lane and seized an undisclosed amount of cash, more marijuana, assault rifles and other firearms along with meth and hashish.
Nguyen was taken to the Jackson County jail pending a bond hearing.
Agents with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics and the Drug Enforcement Administration along with sheriff's investigators and deputies in the K-9 division assisted in Monday's investigation.
Nguyen is facing a sentence of up to life in prison.
