Kevin Ingram, a freshman English teaching major, is facing drug charges after police found 24 marijuana plants in his home.
According to the affidavit, detectives executed a narcotics search warrant at Ingram’s home on Summerly Drive.
Detectives found 24 plants with roots, several grow lamps, a reflective marijuana grow tent, reflective foil, approximately 20 grams of loose marijuana and other drug paraphernalia.
The marijuana was found in Ingram’s bedroom, the living room and a second bedroom.
The affidavit said that Ingram admitted that one of the bedrooms the marijuana plants were found in belonged to him.
Several messages on Ingram’s cell phone showed signs of his involvement in the sale of marijuana.
Ingram, 18, was arrested Monday afternoon and charged with a felony drug offense and manufacturing. His bond was set at $60,000.
