Police make pot bust inside Las Vegas Country Club community

A man was arrested, and more than 200 marijuana plants worth an estimated $700,000 were seized from a home in a gated community Monday afternoon, Las Vegas police said.

Lt. Dan Zehnder said a warrant was served about 5:30 p.m. at a home in the 800 block of Vegas Valley Drive, near Sahara Avenue and Paradise Road, inside the Las Vegas Country Club community.

Zehnder said Amos Cavallo Jr. was arrested in the raid. He added Cavallo was connected to a Nye County pot bust last year in which 2,000 plants were seized.
