Timothy B. Edwards, 56, was charged with knowingly cultivating marijuana, a felony of\u00a0the third degree. In addition to the marijuana plants, other suspected narcotics were found at the residence, with charges pending results from analysis of those substances by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation laboratory in Bowling Green.<\/p>\n
