JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) - Police jailed a western Pennsylvania man who was allegedly digging up a marijuana plant in his yard as officers arrived to arrest him on unrelated theft charges. Jon Beltz Jr., 23, is in the Cambria County Jail.

Johnstown police went to Beltz's home to arrest him Wednesday on charges that he stole nearly $2,700 from a woman's bank account by using her identity to make 32 withdrawals. Police said he also sold more than $12,000 of the her jewelry and computer equipment.

That's when police saw Beltz standing next to a freshly dug hole and holding the plant, which they charged him with possessing.

Beltz faces a preliminary hearing Sept. 16 according to online court records which don't list an attorney for him.
