Hearing rescheduled in marijuana case

CANFIELD

A preliminary hearing in the case of a Canfield man accused growing more than 300 marijuana plants was rescheduled from Friday to March 16.

Charles Brian Muth, 40, is charged with illegal assembly or manufacturing of drugs, a second-degree felony, and did not enter a plea to that charge at his January arraignment. Muth also is charged with aggravated menacing and ethnic intimidation in a separate case in Boardman.

Reports state that while Boardman police were investigating the menacing case, they searched Muth’s residence at 9075 Briarwood Court and saw the marijuana plants. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is investigating but as of Friday afternoon no federal charges had been filed.
