Police said a barking dog led them to discover a large illegal marijuana grow operation in the basement of a Ferndale home.
More than 150 pot plants, including growing lights and a watering system, were found in the basement of a home on the 400 block of West Chesterfield Road, police said.
Neighbors complaining of the incessant barking called police around 4 a.m.
The barking dog was found in the back yard, and when Ferndale police knocked on the door, the homeowner did not respond, they said.
Police said they went around the house and noticed an open door and entered the home because they feared the homeowner could have been in need of help.
Once inside, officers said they saw a grocery bag partially filled with marijuana and the 44-year-old homeowner sleeping on the couch.
Officers said the man agreed to allow them to search the home. Officers confiscated the marijuana and a handgun.
The man was not arrested, but the case will be turned over to the Oakland County prosecutor's office.
