SAC CITY, Iowa — A man who was charged with growing marijuana with his mother in the basement of their Schaller, Iowa, home has been placed on probation.

Keegan Cross, 42, pleaded guilty in Sac County District Court to possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance with an added habitual offender enhancement. District Associate Judge Joseph McCarville on Monday suspended a 15-year prison sentence and placed Cross on two years’ probation. Charges of manufacturing a controlled substance and failure to affix a drug tax stamp were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.
Cross and his mother, Glenda Turnquist, were arrested Aug. 16, when Sac County Sheriff’s deputies executed a search warrant at a residence in the 500 block of South Perth Street and found a marijuana growing operation in the basement that included more than 40 plants, grow lights and ventilated grow tents amongst other materials to grow and maintain marijuana plants.
