Officers from the East Central Narcotics Taskforce said they searched 10 Redbud Lane in August and seized 46 marijuana plants and indoor growing equipment.

On Aug. 21, Ronald Purvis, a resident of the house, turned himself in to the Glastonbury Police Department after learning there was a warrant for his arrest.

Purvis was charged with cultivation of marijuana, possession of more than 4 ounces of marijuana, operating a drug factory, possession of marijuana with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia .

He was released on a $45,000 court set non-surety bond and is due back in court on Sept. 23.

It's not clear if he has an attorney. There is no listing for one on the online court docket.
