"TAMPA — Authorities say a Tampa man was using an underground World War II ammunition bunker to grow marijuana."
"Police arrested 37-year-old Gustavo Gonzalez on Friday. A week earlier, detectives had raided the 2,000-square-foot bunker and found 66 marijuana plants, as well as equipment needed to grow them. Detectives estimated the value of the plants to be about $231,000."
