Megan Bell, 24, Catherine Dillard, 19, Brian Harrison, 33, and Sara Roberson, 19, all face drug counts after the search of a home in the 1400 block of Concord Road, according to a release from the Weakley County Sheriff’s Department.

All four of the people who were arrested live at the home, according to the release.

The incident reportedly began when a deputy went to serve paperwork at the home. A strong odor of marijuana came from inside the mobile home, and deputies obtained a search warrant for the residence, according to the release.

Deputies reportedly found several ounces of marijuana inside the home along with scales and equipment to package the marijuana for resale.

They also found two jars filled with what they believe to be melted gummy bears tainted with marijuana along with a section of blotting paper, which is often used to ingest drugs, according to the release.

The blotting paper will be sent to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab to be tested for illegal drugs.

Deputies also seized several guns and $1,195 in cash.

The four residents are charged with possession of schedule VI with intent to resale and possession of drug paraphernalia.
