A 32-year-old South Lake Tahoe man was arrested late Friday night following a traffic stop which led to a search warrant of the man’s home and the discovery of dozens of marijuana plants, authorities said this morning.

The man, whose name has not been released because of the multijurisdictional nature of the investigation, was arrested on suspicion of cultivation and possession of marijuana for sales, according to a California Highway Patrol officer.

The arrest was made after seven marijuana plants were discovered in the back of the man’s vehicle when a CHP officer stopped the vehicle for a registration violation, the officer said.
