On the afternoon of December 11th the residence of a cannabis cultivator was invaded by police. After arriving at the residence and knocking several times, Clark County PD knocked down the door at 4163 Arkansas 84 in Amity. Thankfully, the owner of the home was not present at the time of the break in and no one was hurt.
7 on Your Side reports: "officers reportedly found two bedrooms that were being used to grow suspected marijuana plants. Police found 99 suspected plants in one room and 25 in the other room. The affidavit says that the plants were in soil or water and were being grown under lights."
The homeowner, Brandon Childers arrived back to his home to find officers loading his personal property into multiple vehicles in order to be destroyed. According to police reports, Childers allowed police access to his gun safe that housed his 5 registered firearms but because the weapons were present in the same house as the plants he was charged with simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms.
Police took the man into custody by threat of force but without incident. Along with the firearm charge, he aces charges of manufacturing a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia.
