Man used buckets full of human faeces to cover smell of marijuana grow house

A man accused of growing marijuana at a home in Vancleave, Mississippi, was using what appeared to be buckets of human faeces to try to cover up the smell of the dope, according to Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd.

County narcotics agents arrested Henry Ha Nguyen, 41, on charges of marijuana cultivation, possession of marijuana while in possession of a firearm and possession of meth while in possession of a firearm.



Narcotics agents searched the home and found what was described as a "large-scale marijuana grow operation." Besides the pot plants were buckets full of faeces. Nguyen allegedly operated the grow room.

Authorities said Nguyen is accused of growing more than 10 pounds of marijuana over a one-year period at the home. It's unclear whether anyone lived there. Nguyen was taken to the Jackson County jail pending a bond hearing. He is facing a sentence of up to life in prison.
