Police said shortly after arriving at the house, they were approached by a 26-year-old female who claimed to be the daughter of the owner of the property and the sister of the juvenile in the house.

The ranks proceeded to search the house and discovered under the bed occupied by the female a wash tub containing a quantity of leaves, seeds and stems, suspected to be cannabis,” the statement said.

The teen was questioned in the presence of her sister and told police that she lives at the location with her 41-year-old mother who was out of town at the time the search was conducted.
