The Sturgis couple arrested Thursday, accused of running a marijuana-growing operation at their home, have yet to be formally charged, according to the Meade County State's Attorney's Office.

Herb and Nancy Ulrich were arrested after a large number of mature marijuana plants were found in the backyard of their home on Vanocker Drive.

Authorities said there were plants growing in the yard and in a greenhouse at the residence.

An anonymous call from a citizen tipped off Sturgis Police, who served a search warrant with assistance from the Meade County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Marshals Office.

Assistant Sturgis Police Chief Branden Bestgen said the Ulrichs likely will be charged with intent to distribute, among other charges.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
