Oak Grove man arrested on drug trafficking, gun charges

An Oak Grove man is facing drug trafficking and gun charges following an investigation Wednesday night at a Sideline Drive residence.

The investigation began when a man picked his child up from the babysitter and there was a strong odor of marijuana coming from the residence, according to an arrest citation for 18-year old Quedon Scott of Oak Grove, which says the father took the child to the hospital to check for possible marijuana exposure.

Oak Grove police went to the home with the Department of Community Based Services and also smelled the marijuana.

They received consent to search and police say they found a bag in the top of Scott’s closet containing a large amount of marijuana and edible gummies in unopened packages.

The report says police also located a gun loaded with hollow-point ammunition and an AR-15 rifle.

Scott was arrested and charged with trafficking in marijuana, trafficking in synthetic drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, tampering with evidence and use of restricted ammunition during commission of a felony.
