Colorado Couple Arrested For Using Stolen IDs To Rent Expensive Homes From Property Owners For Use As Indoor Pot Farms

From the Front Range of Colorado, The Denver Post reports:

• Expensive homes in three Front Range counties have allegedly been rented by a couple who have used them to grow marijuana, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department. The suspects were identified as Brian Wayne Coplen, 24, and Melissa Violet Haraldson, 21. The couple are accused of renting high-end homes in Arapahoe, Douglas and El Paso counties, often using stolen identities to shield themselves and to obtain the necessary utilities to carry out their marijuana-growing operations. Authorities know of at least five properties where the couple grew marijuana, according to Sgt. Larry Etheridge, spokesman for the South Metro Drug Task Force.
