? Baldwin City police arrested two Baker University students Tuesday afternoon after a marijuana-growing operation was found in their home in the 400 block of Eisenhower.

“Twenty-eight growing marijuana plants of various heights were seized, along with grow lights and other paraphernalia,” said Neis.

The men — a 24-year-old and a 20-year-old — were arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to sell within 1,000 feet of a school, no drug stamp and possession of drug paraphernalia. The arrest was made east of Baldwin Junior High School.
