LOS ALAMOS, N.M. - Authorities have evicted a man from a cave on Los Alamos National Laboratory land where they say he apparently lived for years
with the comforts of home — a wood-burning stove, solar panels connected to car batteries for electricity and a satellite radio
Los Alamos Deputy Fire Chief Doug Tucker said Roy Michael Moore's hideaway, which also was equipped with a bed and a glass front door, was discovered
earlier Oct. 13 after a Department of Energy employee working at the Los Alamos site office noticed smoke wafting from the cave in a heavily wooded,
steep canyon.
The employee reported the smoke to the fire department. Tucker said the smoke came from Moore's wood-burning stove.
Ten marijuana plants were found outside the cave. Moore, 56, has been charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug
paraphernalia, according to court documents. He pleaded not guilty and was released on bond.
An officer called to the site by firefighters pulled up the plants and confiscated about 21 ounces of dried marijuana, according to a statement of
probable cause filed in magistrate court in Los Alamos.

Firemen responding to the site discovered that Moore also was growing ten marijuana plants. Deputies were called to the scene and he was charged with
possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Staff at Los Alamos indicated that the area had not been used in years
despite its close proximity to offices located there and further note that the location is not near any sensitive areas on the lab.
