Officials in Portage County say two people are facing charges, after a search of a Stevens Point residence uncovered more than 17 pounds of marijuana.

Police believe the pair brought the drugs into Wisconsin after buying them in a state where medical marijuana is legal. The drugs have an estimated street value of $100,000. Police also seized about $6,500 in cash.

Officers on Tuesday executed a search warrant at a house across from a Stevens Point high school. The suspects are 20 and 22-years-old. Their names and genders have not been disclosed and formal charges are pending.
