Franklin County sheriff’s deputies arrested Gary Crain after searching his home on Hickory Grove Road in Huntland, Tennessee.[1][2] He was charged with five offences, including manufacture, sale and delivery of a Schedule 6 controlled substance.[3][2] The other charges were possession of a Schedule II substance, possession of a Schedule III substance, felony possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a dwelling for drug purposes.[1]

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Team carried out the search under a warrant at a home in the 1600 block of Hickory Grove Road.[1] Both outlets say the search took place on a Wednesday in Huntland, which the sheriff’s office attributes to its Narcotics Team.[3] During the search deputies found 246 plants believed to be marijuana.[1][2] Deputies also found a substance believed to be a Schedule II controlled substance and another believed to be a Schedule III controlled substance, with no type or weight given.[3] They also seized multiple UV grow lights and other items described as paraphernalia linked to the cultivation of marijuana.[3][2]

The sheriff’s office said the investigation remains ongoing.[3] The sheriff’s office presented the plants and equipment as an indoor home grow operation, but the reports give no court outcome beyond the charges.[1]
