By Talia Buford WEST WARWICK, RI -- Two men were arrested today after police found a marijuana growing operation in one of the men's homes. Police searched the home of Jason DiPrete at 9 Melrose St. around 11 a.m. yesterday and found a marijuana "grow" -- the system of watering, fertilization and lighting used to grow the plants -- in his basement, said Det. Sgt. Mark Bennett. Officers seized 16 plants and $9,000 during the search. DiPrete, 30, was charged with manufacturing and simple possession of marijuana and three counts of possessing a schedule 1-5 narcotic -- Vicodin, Suboxone and HGH, respectively. He was arraigned last night before a bail commissioner and will be arraigned in Kent County court on Monday. Christos Georgitsis, 21, of 3 Cora St., North Providence, was charged with conspiracy to manufacture marijuana. He was released on personal recognizance last night.
