A North Little Rock man was arrested Tuesday after an employee conducting pest control services in his apartment noticed marijuana plants inside, authorities said.
William Bailey, 54, was booked into the Pulaski County jail on a charge of manufacturing a controlled substance. He was no longer listed as an inmate there Wednesday morning.
According to a North Little Rock police report, an apartment complex employee was in Bailey's unit at 2500 Willow St. "for pest control services" when she found a pot in the bathroom with "several" marijuana plants in it. That address returns to the Willow House, a North Little Rock Housing Authority high-rise apartment building.
Police responded and seized the plants, which the report said weighed nearly 9 ounces, and arrested Bailey.
A preliminary court appearance is set for Wednesday.
