An Iowa City man has been accused of growing marijuana.

Michael Callahan, 36, was charged Tuesday with a controlled-substance violation.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, members of the Johnson County Drug Task Force conducted an investigation into marijuana growing.

Callahan was allegedly spotted leaving the marijuana-growing location and admitted to growing marijuana. 

During a search, officials reportedly located 14 plants and different tools used to tend them. 

From video on a trail cam, Callahan was allegedly found tending the plants on more than one occasion.

Controlled-substance violation is a Class-D felony.
