Deputies say they found dozens of marijuana plants and harvested marijuana Tuesday, September 11, 2007.

Narcotics officers say they received

 an anonymous tip about drug activity near a home in Southeast Memphis. Officers say as they approached the intersection of Echels Street and Wilshire Drive, they smelled marijuana.

A drug dog was brought to the location and the odor was traced to a house in the 3600 block of Wilshire. Deputies say they knocked on the door and the resident, 58 year-old Hosezetta Spencer, allowed the officers to enter.

Deputies say they saw marijuana joints and seeds in the living room. In other rooms, detectives discovered almost 60 marijuana plants grown by lights and chemicals, which they say produces a higher grade of the drug. More than 300 grams of harvested marijuana was also found in the house.

Deputies say Spencer told them she lived alone and would not give any explanation about the marijuana growing in her home.

Spencer is charged with possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
