Swimming in pot: Pennsylvania police discover $100K of marijuana in backyard pool

Pennsylvania police said they found $100,000 worth of marijuana growing in a resident's backyard swimming pool.

A WPXI helicopter flew over the resident's home and police also showed up-close pictures they took.

Two men have been arrested, according to a Facebook post by the Franklin Township Police Department.
