Two Baker students accused of running marijuana-growing operation out of home

Douglas County prosecutors filed charges against two Baker University students accused of having a marijuana-growing operation in their Baldwin City home.

Possession of controlled substances and drug paraphernalia charges were filed against Rai Shed Abdu Yahia, 24, and Alexander Abbas Fouad Farran, 20.

Baldwin City police said they found 28 marijuana plants and grow lights in their home in the 400 block of Eisenhower.

The men were released from jail on $2,500 bond and are scheduled later this month to return to Douglas County District Court for hearings in front of Judge Sally Pokorny, court records said.
