(At approximately 10:48 a.m. Saturday) two deputies from the Latah County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence after receiving a request to check the welfare of minor children in the residence located at 3425 Highway 6 in Princeton. The Deputies contacted both parents and spoke to them about the concerns involving the children. While at the residence, Deputies detected the smell of marijuana and began to question both subjects. Consent was given to search the residence. Deputies found potting soil, grow lights and planting pots; equipment used in a grow operation in the cellar of the residence.
