GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - A long-time sports columnist for The Grand Rapids Press turned himself in Wednesday on two marijuana charges, one a felony.
David Mayo was released from the Kent County Jail Wednesday afternoon after appearing via video arraignment on a felony charge of posessing five to 45 kilograms of marijuana (11-99 pounds) with intent to distribute and a misdemeanor charge of maintaining a drug house.
A Kent County sheriff's lieutenant told 24 Hour News 8 Mayo's home was one of five indoor marijuana-growing operations busted by the Kent Area Narcotics Enforcement Team and the US Drug Enforcement Agency within the last month or so and announced last week.
Mayo faces a maximum of seven years in prison for the delivery charge and two years for the drug house charge.
A warrant claims Mayo manufactured between 20 and 200 marijuana plants at his Grand Rapids home in the 3400 block of Fuller Avenue NE.
