A drug bust at a St. Louis nursing home Friday yielded 200 marijuana plants and the arrest of a 34-year-old employee.
About 11 a.m., 12 St. Louis police officers and five federal Drug Enforcement Agency agents exercised a search warrant at the Altenheim St. Louis, at 5408 South Broadway, just north of Bellerive Park in the city's Carondelet neighborhood. They raided the basement and moved some furniture to reach a false wall. Behind the wall was an elaborate growing operation - marijuana plants thriving in a lighted, irrigated area, a St. Louis police spokesman said.Officers also arrested a longtime employee, who authorities allege had rigged the operation using material from the nursing home's maintenance department. The suspect's name was not released. Altenheim management knew nothing of the marijuana operation, the police spokesman said. Administrators could not be reached Friday.
