Domestic Call turns into drug bust

ON OCTOBER 18TH, 2016, AUTHORITIES WITH THE LAWRENCE COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT WERE DISPATCHED TO 48 McCALEB ROAD DUE TO A DOMESTIC BETWEEN MOTHER AND DAUGHTER. ETHRIDGE POLICE DEPARTMENT ASSISTED WITH THE CALL AND ARRIVED WITH A LAWRENCE COUNTY DEPUTY.

THE TWO OFFICERS ENTERED THE RESIDENCE AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE MOTHER (MICHELLE GREENWAY) WHILE THE DAUGHTER (CANDACE WEAKLY) WAITED OUTSIDE.

WHILE SPEAKING WITH MICHELLE ABOUT THE DOMESTIC, BOTH OFFICERS NOTICED A STRONG ODOR OF MARIJUANA INSIDE THE RESIDENCE. THE RESPONDING DEPUTY REQUESTED ASSISTANCE FROM INVESTIGATORS WITH THE LAWRENCE COUNTY NARCOTICS UNIT WHO RESPONDED TO THE SCENE.

MICHELLE GREENWAY GRANTED CONSENT FOR A SEARCH OF THE RESIDENCE AND APPROX; 20GRAMS OF MARIJUANA, SEVERAL PARAPHERNALIA ITEMS, SEVERAL PRESCRIPTION PILLS AND ONE SAWED-OFF SHOTGUN WAS FOUND.

INVESTIGATORS NOTICED THAT SEVERAL GUNS APPEARED TO BE MISSING FROM A GUN CABINET SO THEY ASKED CANDACE WHERE THE GUNS WERE. CANDACE STATED THAT HER DAD (JAMES GREENWAY) HAD ASKED HER TO TAKE THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE AND PUT THEM IN HER VEHICLE. INVESTIGATORS ADVISED CANDACE THAT THEY NEEDED TO SEE THE GUNS SO SHE OPENED HER VEHICLE.

WHEN OFFICERS LOOKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE THEY COULD SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF MARIJUANA. A BLUE BAG WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT AND WHEN ASKED ABOUT IT, CANDACE STATED THAT HER DAD WANTED HER TO GET THE BAG ALSO.

OFFICERS OPENED THE BAG AND FOUND OVER 4LBS OF MARIJUANA, PARAPHERNALIA ITEMS AND $1,914 CASH. THERE WERE ALSO NINE GUNS IN THE VEHICLE THAT WERE REMOVED FROM THE RESIDENCE PRIOR TO OFFICERS ARRIVING.

AS A RESULT OF THE INVESTIGATION JAMES AND MICHELLE GREENWAY WERE ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA FOR RESALE, FOUR COUNTS OF POSSESSION OF SCH IV FOR RESALE, POSSESSION OF FIREARMS IN THE COMMISSION OF A FELONY, SIMPLE POSSESSION OF SCH IV AND POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA.
