According to the arrest affidavits, Shane Bostrom had eight live marijuana plants growing in pots, two growing tents with lights, weight and humidity scales, and bags for delivery of marijuana in the home.

His five-year-old daughter who lives in the home had access to the plants and growing areas, according to the affidavits.

Glass pipes commonly used to smoke marijuana were located and had a smell of burnt marijuana, both accessible to the child. Video surveillance observed and reviewed showed Shane Bostrom removing the eight plants and placing them outside at the back of the house in an attempt to conceal evidence, according to the affidavits.

Shane Bostrom has not been charged in connection with Jessica Bostrom’s death and was still in custody as of Friday morning with a $14,300 cash-only bond.

The shooting remains under investigation.
