An eastern Nebraska man was arrested Thursday for allegedly operating a marijuana grow operation.

The Cass County Sheriff's Office says the operation was discovered after firefighters responded to a structure fire. The fire was reported around a home east of Highway 75 and Young Street, just North of Beaver Lake.

The Sheriff's Office says deputies made the discovery and arrested 43-year-old Joshua Adams at the scene.

He was booked for manufacturing marijuana with the intent to distribute.
