On April 13, 2012, at approximately 5:20 p.m., deputies responded to 2203 Bruton Road in reference to a Crime Stoppers tip. Upon arrival, deputies made contact with Christopher and Angela Holbrooks. Deputies could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from within the residence. Deputies also observed a box with fresh cut marijuana clippings on the front porch.

Deputies then obtained a search warrant for the residence. Within the residence, a hydroponic marijuana grow operation was discovered and thirty-seven hydroponic plants were recovered which weighed twenty pounds and was valued at approximately $60,000.

The arrestees were also storing loose marijuana in a three week old child’s room which resulted in the child being removed by Child Protective Services at the scene.
