Alleged marijuana grow busted in Appleton

APPLETON - Officials credit a combined effort between the Appleton Police Dept. and the Outagamie Co. Sheriff’s Dept. for a Friday drug bust in Appleton.

Police say a sheriff’s deputy developed leads that led officers to a home in the 1200 block of N. Story St. On searching the house, officers say they found close to 100 marijuana plants, items used to create the growing operation and a large amount of money.

Officers arrested Michael C. Arnoldussen, 30. Police say they will ask for enhanced charges because the alleged growing operation was within 1,000 feet of a school.
