Sgt. Mathis issued citations to those who had been drinking. All parents/guardians of the underage were contacted.

After gaining consent deputies searched the residence for any other occupants. Deputy Crotts searched the downstairs area where he detected a strong odor of marijuana. Upon entering the pool room area in plain sight Deputy Crotts found evidence of marijuana use including paraphernalia, smoking devices, and marijuana residue. Deputies confronted Stanaland who denied ownership and advised his half brother Gary Ralph Lebarron occupied the room. Deputies questioned Lebarron who confirmed he occupied the room but denied ownership of the drugs or paraphernalia.

Deputies were asked to check the vehicle of a guest for illegal contraband by guardians before taking the vehicle to their residence. Deputies located in plain view of the back seat a large ziplock bag containing marijuana. Further search  yielded a smoking device for marijuana in the center console of the vehicle. Further investigation concluded the owner of the vehicle was not the owner of the marijuana or the paraphernalia. Deputies found out that the owner had left her keys in the vehicle and Gary Lebarron had used the vehicle without permission and driven to his girlfriend, Shannon Triplett's, house. Triplett's house is located at 843 Howardtown Rd there Lebarron picked up the marijuana. Triplett later arrived at the incident location in her vehicle.

Deputies interviewed Triplett and questioned her about the drugs. She admitted to using the smoking device and knowledge of the drugs inside the vehicle. Due to the number of statements it was determined the drugs belonged to Triplett and she was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Gary Lebarron was arrested for possession of marijuana and the possession of drug paraphernalia.

Charles Andrew Stanaland was also arrested for the possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.
