SAC CITY, Iowa (AP) — A western Iowa man has pleaded guilty in another marijuana case. The Sioux City Journal reports that 35-year-old Keegan Cross entered the plea Wednesday in Sac County District Court. The charge: manufacturing a controlled substance. His sentencing is scheduled for July 18. Cross and his mother, 58-year-old Glenda Turnquist, were arrested in February after Sac County deputies found marijuana plants and equipment used for growing them in the Schaller home Turnquist and Cross shared. She’s pleaded not guilty, and her trial is scheduled to begin July 17.

The two were given probation after pleading guilty in an earlier case. They were arrested in March 2017 after deputies found a similar growing operation and 80 marijuana plants in the same house.
