Winston-Salem, NC -- Police arrested two men and seized more than $90,000 worth of marijuana plants and paraphernalia.

Randy Adam Howard was riding  a moped without a helmet and traveling the wrong way down a one-way street this morning before he pulled behind his home.

Officers pulled into the driveway behind him to investigate the violation when they found Micah Rashad Hughes smoking marijuana.

Police arrested Hughes and searched the rest of the home.

Officers found an outside growing operation that was centered on the property line of two homes on N. Patterson Ave.

In the end, police seized 36 marijuana plants, valued at $90,000, 1.5 ounces of marijuana, valued at $300.00 and US currency and paraphernalia valued at $1,000.

Police also arrested Howard (pictured on the right) in the search.  

Correction: The original story said Michah Rashad Huges was riding the moped without a helmet. That was a misprint. Randy Adam Howard was the man on the moped. We apologize for any confusion.
