A Madison couple was charged for growing 166 marijuana plants in their house Tuesday, according to police.
Richard Braun, 62 and his wife Barbara Braun, 60 were charged with manufacturing marijuana and possession with intent to deliver. The Brauns maintained a drug house after police found marijuana during the execution of a search warrant Jan. 5.
Police said they found marijuana being grown in the Braun's basement on the 1800 block of Rutledge Street on Madison's East side.
Richard Braun had 166 marijuana plants growing in his house, police said. Police also found four and half pounds of packaged marijuana and $17,414 in cash, according to the criminal complaint.

The Brauns are set to appear in court Thursday.
