"While the officers were there, they noticed one of the closets in the home had some extremely bright light coming from it," said Windsor Police Staff Sgt. Ed McNorton. "When they looked into it, they had about 40 very young marijuana plants growing there."

Police had responded to a call about a fight at a city home.

McNorton said four people were in the house watching TV when two men, one with a gun, snuck in through an unlocked back door.

The gun turned out to be an imitation revolver.

"One of them was brandishing this imitation handgun," said McNorton. "The guy with the handgun went over to one of the people sitting down, hit him in the face with the gun and started to search him."

McNorton said the victim wasn't badly hurt, but the attack didn't sit well with his friends. After that, everybody jumped into the fray.

"The others just attacked him and managed to disarm him," said McNorton.

They managed to hang onto the second robber, but in the melee, the man who had been carrying the gun got away.

One of the people in the house called police, but McNorton said he didn't know which one. While officers were investigating the robbery, they came across the robbery victim's marijuana plants.

They seized 40.

McNorton didn't know for sure if the house was targeted because of the drugs.

Arthur Holland, 18, of Windsor, is charged with robbery with an imitation firearm.

Ryan Herold, 25, is charged with possession of a substance for the purpose of trafficking.
