When Port St. Lucie police later searched his home in the 2200 block of Southeast Shipping Road, they found marijuana, 38 live rounds of ammunition in the master bedroom and dirty cages with dogs inside, according to a police report.

There were three dogs in cages, and one on a leash, police spokesman Officer Thomas Nichols said.
