A South Windsor man has been arrested on drug charges after police said they found marijuana plants growing on his back deck.
Police said they learned in June that 57-year-old Michael Wellington, of South Windsor, was growing marijuana on his rear deck, so officers obtained a search warrant and seized four plants that were about 3 feet tall and around two ounces of dried marijuana, police said.
Officers later obtained an arrest warrant charging Wellington with cultivation of marijuana and possession of marijuana and he turned himself in to police on Monday.
Wellington was released on a $5,000 non-surety bond and is scheduled to appear at Manchester Superior Court on Oct. 6.
