St. JosephCounty - Early Tuesday morning, November 10, members of the Indiana State Police Marijuana Eradication Team served a search warrant at 51209 South 25th Street, in South Bend. Troopers conducting the investigation on the occupant of the residence secured a search warrant based on information they gathered over several weeks.
Troopers from the Bremen Post recovered approximately 90 live plants, drug paraphernalia, cash, and grow equipment at the home. A line of ventilating fans placed along the basement stairs guided officers to the plants located in two basement rooms. The marijuana was growing in five gallon buckets as an automated high intensity light moved along a track above them. The marijuana plants were found in all stages of growth and each mature plant can have a street value of $1,500.
Dawn Dubin, 49, of South Bend was home when the warrant was served. Dubin was arrested on several felony charges and taken to the St. Joseph County Jail where she is being held on bond.
Eradication Team Leader, Trooper Brian Hoffman, would like to remind the public to continue to report suspicious activity to the Indiana State Police Marijuana Eradication Tip Line at 888-873-1694. "The tip line continues to be a valuable asset in the fight against indoor and outdoor marijuana growing operations," Hoffman added.
