A Columbia County man is accused of breaking into a farm and stealing cannabis plants.

State police said Roger L. DeLease Jr., 45, of Ancram, allegedly forced his way into the Hudson Cannabis Farm in Livingston last month. It took about 28 plants.

DeLease was charged with grand larceny, criminal mischief and criminal trespass.

He was arraigned in Claverack Town Court and remanded to the Columbia County Jail. DeLease has since been released.
