GROVE CITY — A Western Pennsylvania man who was arrested and charged with growing marijuana on a church's property says he had no idea who the land belonged to.

State police arrested 28-year-old Jason Como on Saturday after the Beloved Disciples Church reported that two suspected marijuana plants were growing on its property in Grove City.

But a Pittsburgh radio station reported Wednesday that Como says he's a Christian and that he wouldn't have planted the pot there if he'd known the land belonged to a church. Como also says it was for personal use.

Authorities found a small path that led from the plants to the backyard of a nearby home.

Como was charged with manufacturing and cultivating a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
