Wu Chen, 45, was arrested on Tuesday 1,500 miles (2,400km) away in Florida, said law enforcement officials.

The bodies were found after police received a call of a hostage situation near the town of Hennessey, 55 miles north of Oklahoma City, Qazet.az reports.

Oklahoma allows medical cannabis. It is unclear if the farm was licensed. 

Police say the suspect entered a building on the marijuana operation's property at 17:45 local time (23:45 GMT) on Sunday, when there were "several employees" inside.
