After a monthlong narcotics investigation, San Diego County sheriff's detectives from the Ramona Substation arrested three residents on marijuana charges at 312 Feghali Road early Friday morning, the department said.

The Sheriff's Department said the investigation and subsequent search of the residence revealed an indoor marijuana grow, with about 120 high-grade marijuana plants and 5 pounds of high-grade marijuana with a street value of $15,000.
Authorities said a firearm and $17,800 in cash were also found at the home.

All three were being held on $20,000 or $25,000 bail and were scheduled for arraignment at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 27 in El Cajon Superior Court.
The department said they were booked for a variety of charges, including:
