ALBANY, GA (WALB) - A Lee County man is charged with manufacturing marijuana after someone saw it growing on his back porch and turned him in.

Leesburg Police say 26 year old Joshua Bridges had a marijuana plant growing in a large pot on the back porch of his Nacoochee Street home. When police searched inside the house they found hallucinogen mushrooms and what they believe was a pipe to smoke Meth.

Bridges is also charged with possession of a controlled substance and transaction of a controlled substance within 100 feet of a school.
