Investigators announced their presence around 3:12 p.m. before entering the residence, police said.
They initially saw a 17-year-old juvenile inside the home along with two bongs, a partially smoked marijuana cigarette, a metal tray with loose marijuana, and a glass container with THC wax on a coffee table, police said. Several marijuana pipes were also seen in the master bedroom, according to the criminal complaint.
Additionally, a shotgun and pistol were spotted in the residence, police said.
Investigators discovered an unlocked door in the master bedroom, which allowed the occupants to easily access the other side of the duplex, officers said. Investigators later found two marijuana plants inside a grow tent, surrounded by two heat lamps, police said.
When Angelica Rosa-Wolf — whose name was on the lease — arrived home, she was detained and agreed to speak with police, according to the criminal complaint.
Rosa-Wolf admitted that she and her husband, Shane Wolf Sr., were attempting to grow marijuana, police said.
After securing a search warrant, investigators seized the two marijuana plants, approximately 190 grams of marijuana throughout several rooms in the residence, THC gummies and edibles, digital scales and bongs, officers said.
Investigators also discovered 12 firearms and large quantities of ammunition and magazines in the master bedroom, police said.
When questioned about the large quantities of marijuana, Rosa-Wolf told investigators she traveled with her husband to upstate New York most weekends to sell it, according to the criminal complaint.
Police charged Rosa-Wolf, 43, with possession with intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday at 9:45 a.m.
