As Atlanta police were entering a home, a 36-year-old man tried to flee out the back door with a handgun. Frederic Hazard didn’t get very far before he was arrested.

That’s because approximately $1.2 million worth of marijuana was found growing in the Beracah Walk home, off of Cascade Road, Officer Eric Schwartz told the AJC.

Police seized 700 drug plants in various stages of growth, more than 6 pounds of cultivated marijuana, and several packages of hash, Schwartz said. Police executed a search warrant Wednesday after a month-long investigation, he said.

Hazard was arrested and transported to the Fulton County jail. He was charged with trafficking marijuana, giving a false name and firearm possession. Hazard’s Chevrolet Tahoe was seized, police said.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing and more arrests are possible, Schwartz said.
