A Town of Cuba man has been arrested, accused of growing nearly 100 marijuana plants at a home in the Village of Cuba.  He's now facing numerous drug-related charges, after police raided a home Thursday afternoon.

Police say they found 95 marijuana plants and other drugs, with a street value of $100,000.

Scott Griffith, 48, was arraigned in Town of Cuba court.  He was sent to the Allegany County Jail and is being held on $10,000 cash bail or $20,000 bond.

Griffith is facing charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal possession of marijuana and unlawfully growing cannabis by an unlicensed person.

It's unclear when Griffith will be back in court.
