SCOTT CO. – Two stores and a private home were searched by Scott County deputies Monday as part of an investigation into the possible sale of marijuana and other illegal substances to minors.
According to a release from the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, Country Boy Food Mart at 950 South Gardner Street and Scott’s Food Mart at 265 South Gardner Street were searched, and a private residence at 170 South Washington Street was searched.
The Sheriff’s Office said throughout their two-month investigation, undercover deputies were able to purchase marijuana from the two store locations. They also received tips that the stores were selling vape products and other age-restricted items to minors.
Deputies brought their evidence to Scott County Prosecutor Chris Owens, whose staff assisted officers by producing the search warrants on Monday.
