FREEPORT, Texas — Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office officials said a man has been arrested and is facing drug charges after they executed a search warrant at a Freeport home last week.
On Tuesday, deputies showed up at the house on County Road 233 and said they found an extensive hydroponic weed growing operation. A 39-year-old man was at the home. He was taken into custody and is facing multiple drug charges.
