The Outlook gives the woman's age as 23 and AL.com as 22, so her age is left out of the text.
The two accounts spell the male suspect's name differently, as Kendrick Buckner and Ke Aldric Buckner.
Much of the Outlook article's body appears as encoded characters, so no other details from it could be confirmed; AL.com's account was used for the apartment search and charges.
No exact seizure weight was published: about 11 pounds at the apartment and two and a half ounces in the car.
The relationship between the marijuana found in the car and that seized at the apartment is unclear, so no combined weight is recorded.
No estimated value for the marijuana, no bond amounts and no court dates were published.
Both accounts repeat a Tallapoosa County Sheriff's Office release; no separate official statement was opened.
