PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Three people have been arrested, and investigators seized more than 500 marijuana plants, almost 140 pounds of usable marijuana and 13 guns in a drug investigation, Rhode Island State Police said Friday.
Court-authorized searches at three addresses also yielded more than $87,000 in cash, more than 22 pounds of butane honey oil, a derivative of pot, as well as equipment used in the growth, manufacture and packaging of marijuana, police said.
Alfred Ancone, 34, of Coventry; Thomas Moulton, 32, of Warwick; and Michael Vitone, 32, of Providence all face a variety of drug and gun charges. They were held without bail pending a status conference next week.
No attorneys were listed for Ancone and Vitone in court records. A message was left with Moulton’s attorney.
