An 87-year-old Denver man has been charged for allegedly growing more than 400 marijuana plants in his backyard.

Edward Bogunovich, who lives in west Denver, was charged Friday with multiple felonies: possession with intent to distribute marijuana, more than 100 pounds; cultivation of marijuana, more than 30 plants; and possession of marijuana, more than 12 ounces.

The number of plants exceeds the amount Bogunovich “was allowed for medical cultivation,” according to a media release from the Denver district attorney’s office.

“The charges further allege that Bogunovich possessed tools and material indicative of distribution beyond personal and provider use,” prosecutors said.

Bogunovich is free from jail on a $10,000 bond.

His next scheduled court appearance is Aug. 16.

Bogunovich has a lengthy arrest record in the state, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, including multiple arrests for drugs and marijuana.

Drug arrests dating to 1980 include cases in the cities of Lakewood, Sheridan and Denver, as well as Adams and Arapahoe counties, according to CBI records. Recently, Bogunovich was arrested on suspicion of marijuana cultivation and distribution in February 2010.
