Molino Man Enters Diversion Program In Marijuana Case

October 25, 2012

A 59-year old Molino man charged after deputies discovered that he was growing marijuana in his backyard and that he had a stash in a freezer has pleaded no contest.

Johnnie Ray Darby of the 4000 block of Saunders Lane will enter a pretrial intervention program on a charge of producing marijuana, a third degree felony. If he successfully completes the program, the charges against him will be dismissed at that time.

An Escambia Sheriff’s Office helicopter air unit located about 10 marijuana plants growing in pots behind Darby’s residence in June, according to an arrest report.  A water hose led from the plants to Darby’s residence and power had ran from the residence to the area of the plants, the report states.

Darby gave deputies consent to search the inside of his residence. Deputies reported finding a quantity marijuana stored in his freezer and in a back office of the home.
