Deputies investigating an Alexander County shooting turned up 350 pounds of marijuana this week.
Alexander County Sheriff Chris Bowman said it is the most marijuana he has seen in one place in 15 years. âItâs always been around, but to find this much quantity at one place, at one time, has just not been found in our county in many many years,â he said.
Two people were shot Tuesday in the Sugar Loaf community. As of Thursday, both victims in the shooting are still hospitalized and in stable condition.
Bowman said the shooting may be linked to a drug deal that went wrong.
