Two men in Westmoreland County face charges of operating a marijuana grow operation in South Huntingdon Township

Westmoreland County District Attorney Nicole Ziccarelli’s office says 40-year-old Harold Shields and 56-year-old Kirk Truman, both from Yukon, PA face “various narcotics offense” after police front the grow operation at a residence in August.

Pennsylvania State Troopers say the men were growing the marijuana out of a swimming pool.

Other drugs and a shotgun were found inside the residence.

Both men are currently housed in the Westmoreland County Prison.
