LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — A West Hempfield Township man is facing charges after a raid of his home uncovered a marijuana grow and drug dealing operation.

Paul Katherman Jr., 47, is facing six felonies and a misdemeanor in connection to the raid.

Police say a three-month investigation uncovered the operation at the West Hempfield Township home, located in the 4500 block of Klinesville Road.

On October 15, Drug Task Force detectives raided the home, and seized the following:

  • 41 live marijuana plants being grown indoors

  • 108 THC vape cartridges

He posted $100,000 bail via a bondsman.

Now, he will face charges.
