On January 28, 2019, a visit to a residence located at the 204 Water’s Edge Apartment Complex by deputies Joe Baker and Rex Herald resulted in nearly four pounds of marijuana and alleged marijuana edible candies, being located. Austin Noble, 19, from the above mentioned address, was arrested on the charge of Possession of Marijuana, A Misdemeanor, and incarcerated at the Scott County Jail.

This case is continuing with possible further charges after the case is reviewed by the Scott County Prosecutor’s Office.
