A husband and wife were arrested in Pueblo County after a “citizen’s tip” led to an illegal marijuana grow, according to the sheriff’s office.

Acting on the tip, deputies on Tuesday morning went to a home in the 1100 block of Lilac Court in Pueblo West, where more than 70 marijuana plants, worth an estimated $216,000, were found in a residence, according to a news release.

Arian Baez, 29, told deputies he “had a license” to grow and the plants were for his “personal use.” Colorado law, however, limits the number of plants to 12 per household.
