(Donalds, SC) -- A judge now finds himself as a defendant in Abbeville County.
Laurens County magistrate Mareno Foggie was arrested this week for running a marijuana grow operation on property he owns in Donalds.
The operation was discovered last month in a building on Setters Lane, and deputies say there were between ten and 100 plants inside.
Foggie says he's completely innocent, and he's saddened and disgusted to be charged with a crime he did not commit.
