Marijuana hidden under northern Minn. garage floor
Drug agents have uncovered 85 marijuana plants being grown under a garage floor in northern Minnesota.
Agents of the Paul Bunyan Drug Task Force raided a rural Blackduck home on Sunday. They found the marijuana being grown in two large metal storage containers buried under the garage floor. The hidden rooms were accessible only through a disguised trapdoor under a workbench in the garage.
Authorities are searching for the home's occupant.
Leech Lake tribal police and Beltrami County sheriff's deputies assisted.
