Alcohol Law Enforcement agents arrested three people Tuesday night, suspected of running an illegal drug operation out of a South Charlotte home.
Michael Medina of Charlotte, Meredith Sasser of Salisbury and Erick Rickman of Rock Hill are all suspected of growing marijuana inside a home Firwood Lane; that's off Woodlawn Road near South Boulevard.
Eyewitness News has learned ALE agents obtained a search warrant after getting an anonymous tip about the drug activity going on there.
Dana Hobbs lives next door and remembers seeing a lot of activity outside Tuesday night, "there was several cop cars up and down the street."
Hobbs never thought his neighbors were involved in illegal drug activity. He says, "just to know that - this guy - I spoke to him yesterday and said hi. Just to know that this is what was going on inside the doors is really scary."
Eileen, who didn't want us to use her last name, is another long-time resident. She says she's seen suspicious activity at the house before, "different cars in and out of the driveway. You would never see them leave. You would see them leave periodically but they were always at home, but you would see them up at two in the morning with lights on all in their house. "
Hobbs is just glad police stopped the problem before it got worse. He's relieved that, "this kind of stuff can be stopped. And keep people safe. 'Cause like I said we don't have the inside look of people's houses but they can get that... and thank God they found it."
Investigators say the three suspects are facing several charges including three felonies and a misdemeanor. All are being held in the Mecklenburg County Jail on secured bonds totalling more than $20,000 each. They would have to put up a portion of the money before being released.
