Citrus County deputies discovered an alleged marijuana grow house Friday morning.

The Sheriff's Office says a K-9 deputy on routine patrol stumbled onto the house while driving in a neighborhood.

The report said his K-9 unit became excited and agitated as they drove past the house.

Deputies watched the home until someone walked out and did a traffic stop on the resident.

They say they learned the resident was on probation for federal drug charges.

Deputies entered the home with a search warrant and discovered the alleged grow house.

The Sheriff's Office has not yet released the homes address, the suspect's name or the amount of marijuana they say they discovered.
