PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) — A Washington man has been charged for a marijuana operation that was found during a house fire that claimed his mother’s life.
The Kitsap Sun reported (http://bit.ly/2rslI6p ) Tuesday that 46-year-old Matthew Parham was charged with manufacture of marijuana. He had a bench warrant issued for his arrest earlier in June after he failed to attend a May court hearing.
According to document, Parham told a detective he was growing the marijuana. Washington state law says growers and processors require a license from state regulators.
