ELKHART — Neighbors complaining about the smell of marijuana led to the arrest of an Elkhart man over the weekend.

The Elkhart Police say an officer was sent to 517 Clarinet Blvd. W. about 4:15 p.m. Saturday and located the apartment where the smell was coming from.

When questioned, the male resident said the apartment was his but refused to allow a search, police said.

The man tried to get back into the apartment when the officer told him he intended to secure the scene and obtain a search warrant. That's when the officer saw evidence of marijuana in the man's home, the department said in its release.

The man was subdued with a Taser after a struggle, police said. After a search of the apartment, police found 100 grams of marijuana and nearly $2,000 in cash.

The man was arrested for possession of marijuana and resisting arrest.
