The Okaloosa
County Multi- Agency Drug Task Force executed a search the same day and charged
39 year old Zachary Shannon Wear with Cultivation of Marijuana, Operating a

Investigators
found approximately 280 marijuana plants located in a loft above the garage, an
adjacent closet, and a downstairs bathroom. They also found grow lights,
chemicals associated with the growing process, and equipment to aid the
cultivation. Wear, who rents a portion of the home, says his roommate was
unaware of the illicit activities.
