CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. – A Florida man and woman were arrested after deputies executed a search warrant and shut down their illegal grow house.
Shortly after 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, members of the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) Tactical Impact Unit (TIU) and members of SWAT responded to a residence off of North Brutus Ave. in Dunnellon to serve a narcotics search warrant.
Upon arrival, deputies instructed everyone in the house to exit the residence and executed the search warrant.

After a brief period, deputies located two subjects and detained them for the remainder of the investigation.
Those subjects were 35-year-old Cameron Richard Bosley and 32-year-old Alissa Paige Harding.
While searching the home and two other structures located on the property, deputies located 211 plants and 12 pounds of dried and processed cannabis bud, for a total combined weight of 68 pounds.
Officials also seized a small amount of MDMA, various drug ledgers, scales, baggies, and a large quantity of cultivation equipment.
“Although activities like selling marijuana or even owning a grow house may be legal in other states, let this serve as a reminder that they are NOT legal here in Florida,” said Sheriff Mike Prendergast. “My team and I will not tolerate any kind of illegal drug being trafficked in Citrus County. We will treat this unlawful act the same as any other drug activity by making every effort possible to put a stop to it. I am extremely proud of our TIU and SWAT members for successfully putting an end to yet another criminal scheme.”
