Fayetteville man arrested

Charged with cultivating marijuana FAYETTEVILLE – A Fayetteville man accused of cultivating 41 marijuana plants in his home faces felony charges. On March 17, Brown County Sheriff deputies obtained a warrant from Brown County Municipal Judge Joe Worley to search the home of Donald Lloyd Wolf, 37, on state Route 50, in Fayetteville. During the search, deputies located 41 marijuana plants and the equipment to run an extensive hydroponics marijuana growing operation. “It was a very thought-out operation,” said Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger. Wenninger said if this individual was able to put so much time and effort into illegal activity, imagine what he could have accomplished if he put as much effort into something positive for the Brown County community. Wolf’s arrest was the result of an ongoing investigation conducted by the sheriff’s department. Felony charges for cultivation of marijuana are pending against Wolf. Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger encouraged anyone with information concerning illegal drug activity to contact the sheriff’s department. Informants can remain anonymous by calling the Sheriff’s Office Drug Information Hotline at (937) 378-4435 ext. 275. By WADE LINVILLE
