A firefighter and a sanitation worker were indicted in Brooklyn yesterday on charges of operating a marijuana grow house in the basement of a Queens residence. Prosecutors accuse Woodside firefighter Matthew Cody and his sanitation worker brother Michael of using the Queens Village house to grow the hydroponic weed, and sources tell My Fox NY it was just one of several grow houses, which could each potentially bring in $2 million a year. Cody's partner in the scheme, fellow firefighter Patrick Murray, was arraigned last month on charges of manufacturing and possessing a controlled substance with the intent to distribute. The feds nabbed him outside the house after getting a tip that he was loading high-intensity discharge lights, often used for indoor plants, into a rented truck. The trio face a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 80 years in prison if convicted because the house is less than a thousand feet from an elementary school. And it's unclear exactly what fate awaits all that primo grass, so let's just try not to think about it.
