OGDEN -- Indoor marijuana operations, like the one the Weber-Morgan Narcotics Strike Force reportedly discovered just before a deadly shootout earlier this month at the home of Matthew David Stewart, are not that common, a Drug Enforcement Agency official said Wednesday.

Most marijuana in Utah is grown outdoors, because there is plenty of open land and water sources, according to Sue Thomas, a spokeswoman with the DEA in Salt Lake City.

The main purpose for growing marijuana indoors is to keep the operation secret, Thomas said.
