The second search warrant was served at a residence in the 2100 block of Second Road in McKinleyville. The residence was associated with the home on California Avenue. A small marijuana growing operation was discovered at that residence as well. Nearly seven pounds of processed marijuana along with additional cultivation equipment was seized. No arrests were made at that location.
