KLKN-TVklkntv.comKearney teen arrested on several drug charges in narcotics investigation, state patrol says
The exact number of THC vape cartridges found in the home is stated only as 'over 50'; the 40 cartridges sold to the undercover officer are counted separately.
The seized marijuana (61 grams) is not stated to be dried flower or a specific cannabis product; it is recorded under the 'flower' category as the best fit.
The count of distribution charges differs between accounts: KHGI reports four counts of distribution within or near a school zone, while the state patrol report gives two distribution counts, one possession-with-intent count and one plain distribution count; this report records the charge as described by the state patrol.
No court outcome beyond bond and the 1 April preliminary hearing was reported; the case was at the charged stage.
The number of firearms (9) and the $870 paid for the cartridges are part of the same event but are not cannabis figures.
