Two men have been arrested after authorities uncovered around $30,000 worth of illegal drugs.

Robert Daniel Richardson and Jesse James Perry were both arrested and charged with two counts of Possession of Schedule VI drugs for resale. They were booked into the Robertson County Detention Facility.

On Wednesday, Nov. 1, detectives with the Robertson County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at a location on Highway 41-A in Pleasant View after investigating possible illegal drug activity. Once inside, detectives discovered seven pounds of high grade marijuana as well as thirty-one vials of High Potency THC Vape Liquid. This marks the first major seizure in Robertson County of THC vape cartridges.

“The legalization of marijuana and THC products, whether medical or recreational, in other states has made it easier for criminals to obtain these products from dispensaries to sell them illegally here in Tennessee,” said Robertson County Sheriff Bill Holt. “The THC vials is very disturbing because these can be used in plain sight and are not as easily discovered when used in the vapor cigarettes. I am proud of our team for investigating and getting these items off our streets.”
