An Otsego County woman was arrested after New York State Police searched her residence and found her to be in possession of over 12 pounds of Marijuana.

Troopers say they have arrested 55-year-old Donna Pickens of Pittsfield after the search of her Burski Road home.  Police found 44 Marijuana plants in various stages of growth as well as lamps, ballasts, and other pot growing equipment within the home.  Processed Marijuana was also discovered.

Troopers also say that had to glean the Marijuana from the stalks and dry it to determine the proper weight of it to gage the level of the charge against Pickens.

She is charged with Felony Possession of Marijuana.
