Investigators found the entire two-story house, barn and carport had been converted for marijuana cultivation.

No suspects were found at the location, according to authorities.

Code enforcement posted the structure as substandard due to the hazardous electrical conditions, no permits for interior structural changes, and an unpermitted indoor diesel generator.

This is still an active investigation.
