A Gresham man was bound over for trial after a preliminary hearing Wednesday on charges of running a marijuana operation out of his home.
Larry E. Antonsen, 43, is facing felony counts of maintaining a drug trafficking place and possession with intent to deliver marijuana.
Stockbridge-Munsee Police and Shawano County sheriff’s detectives executed a search warrant at Antonsen’s residence Monday morning and seized three one-gallon bags of marijuana containing a total 288.6 grams from a padlocked closet, according to the criminal complaint.
Authorities maintain in the complaint that the amount of marijuana found, along with scales and a backpack containing items used for harvesting marijuana, indicated the drug wasn’t intended for personal use, but “would be consistent with an individual growing marijuana and selling it.”
Antonsen was taken into custody at the scene.
Shawano-Menominee County Circuit Court Judge James Habeck set a cash bond for Antonsen of $2,500; half of what was requested by the district attorney’s office, according to court records.
Antonsen could face a maximum six years in prison and $10,000 fine if convicted of possession with intent to deliver marijuana, and 3 1/2 years and a $10,000 fine if found guilty of maintaining a drug trafficking place.
He is also charged with a misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Antonsen is scheduled to be arraigned Monday.
