EPHRATA - A Ephrata man was arrested as part of an undercover drug investigation by the Ephrata Police Department Friday.

Antoine Crowder, 33, was arrested about 8 p.m. after police received a search warrant at his home in the 10 block of H Street Northeast in Ephrata.

According to police reports, a small marijuana grow operation was found in the home. Police allegedly found marijuana and marijuana infused items. Police also reportedly found a total of six marijuana plants during the search.

According to reports, the total street value of the marijuana seized is estimated at $19,000 and about $9,000 in plants.

The arrest was the result of an undercover investigation by the Ephrata Police Department, according to Ephrata Police Chief Mike Warren. Warren said Crowder allegedly sold marijuana to an undercover officer during a controlled buy, leading to a search of Crowder's home.

Crowder was arrested on suspicion of delivery of a controlled substance, unlawful use of a house, possession of marijuana more than 40 grams, possession with intent to deliver and the manufacturing of marijuana, according to police reports.
