Foote is believed to be the head of a large network of local, indoor growing operations. Another warrant was issued on Thursday to a house at 103 65th Ave. W. in Duluth were Foote was staying before his arrest. Inside the home, officers found cash, firearms, marijuana, computers and evidence of a former growing operation.
