MERCED COUNTY  (CBS13) — Two suspects are behind bars after an officer-involved shooting that injured a deputy early Wednesday morning.

The Merced County Sheriff's office said around 12 a.m. Wednesday, Deputy Oscar Ochoa responded to a home in Livingston about a disturbance. Ochoa was not aware the house was a Marijuana Grow house filled with more than 5,100 plants.

Additionally, the sheriff's office said two men, as 27-year-old Javier Delgadillo-Munoz and 35-year-old Paul Demarcus Glenn, arrived at the house before Deputy Ochoa and assaulted a resident, tying him up and stealing the marijuana.
