The article gives no weight for the marijuana seized in bags at the Cordova home, so no cannabis quantity in kilograms is recorded.
The text does not say which seized substances the two controlled-substance counts refer to, nor whether any of the firearms counts relate to the cannabis.
The 3.95 pounds of fentanyl, the xylazine and the amphetamine are non-cannabis substances and are excluded from cannabis figures.
No plea or court outcome was reported; the case was at the charged stage when the article was published.
Only the WREG account, which relies on the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, could be opened; no independent second outlet or the sheriff's own release was found.
The 3700 block of Jerusalem and the area around Fairway are named as another search and sales location but not identified more precisely.
The text gives a weight ("1.79 kg") but the figures have no kg_seized; check whether it belongs there.
The Yahoo News page carries the same WREG text and no independent reporting, so it adds no new facts about the marijuana seized.
