POT GARDEN FOUND NEAR LOS GATOS HIGH

Police raided a home one block from Los Gatos High School on Friday and 
found a flourishing garden of marijuana in the back yard, officers said, 
worth an estimated $40,000 on the street.

Police arrested Steven Lindhal, 24, when he returned to his home at 188 
Villa Ave. Lindhal was booked into a Santa Clara County jail on suspicion 
of possessing, cultivating and selling marijuana.

Los Gatos/Monte Sereno police Sgt. Tim Morgan said officers received a tip 
Thursday about the house.

In addition, the house was declared uninhabitable by a city building 
inspector who determined there were heating gas violations as well as 
faulty wiring.
