DEBARY, September 3, 2008 – A deputy who was checking into some missing bikes attempted to make contact with residents who had what appeared to be numerous abandoned bicycles on their property. No one would answer the door – and he smelled raw cannabis – so he went around the house and saw an open window. The smell of raw cannabis got stronger. He announced himself through the open window.

When he went inside, he found Kathryn Miller, 41, Thomas Miller, 58 and Wayne Miller, 20 – and 40 marijuana plants. He also found 1,762 grams of marijuana in the freezer. The drugs are allegedly worth $42,000. There were also two minors in the home – a 10-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy.

Kathryn is being held in Indian Lake Jail on a $70,500 bond and is charged with cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, cultivation of marijuana with children present and child abuse.
