PCSO Seize Two Pounds of Marijuana, Charge Two

Authorities arrested two Shelbyville men for felony possession of marijuana at the intersection of Highway 56 and Buffalo Valley Road in Putnam County Thursday.

In a press release, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office states 18-year-old Antonio Lanham and 19-year-old Oscar Gutierrez were pulled over after running a stop sign in their 2013 Dodge Challenger.

The arresting sheriff’s deputy conducted a search of the vehicle with the help of K-9 Banjo. The search resulted in the deputy finding over two pounds of marijuana from the trunk of the vehicle.

Both Gutierrez and Lanham were booked into the Putnam County Jail on $5,000 bond each for manufacture, delivery, or sale of a controlled substance. Lanham has since been released on bond while Gutierrez remains in the jail.
