Antioch residents face marijuana charges

Two Antioch residents face drug charges after officers discovered they were growing marijuana plants in their house, authorities said.

Kathy J. Piet, 38, and Bobby M. Puente, 25, have been charged with unlawful possession of sativa cannabis plants, unlawful possession of a controlled substance - psilocybin mushrooms, and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia after they were arrested at their house Thursday, authorities said.

Officers were called to the residence on the 200 block of Main Street for a report of a domestic disturbance, authorities said.

While investigating the report, officers uncovered the marijuana plant growing operation in the attic, authorities said.

The investigation led to the seizure of eight marijuana plants, growing equipment, psychedelic mushrooms, and drug paraphernalia, authorities said.

Piet was released from Lake County jail Friday on $25,000 bail, while Puente is held on $4,000 bail. Their next court dates are unknown at this time.
