The deputy requested a narcotics dog and identified two units as the source of the odor.  Deputies obtained a search warrant and executed the search just after 2 a.m. Tuesday.

Once inside the units, deputies said they found two separate grow operations. One was found in a homemade plywood box; the second was located on a 16-foot lowboy trailer.  Deputies said they found lights, an air conditioning system, and an elaborate watering system inside the trailer, which deputies completely dismantled and removed.

Deputies seized close to 100 pot plants. 

Investigators are currently trying to find the man who rented the units. His name has not been released.
