A Cannon County couple was arrested recently after investigators received a tip that they were dealing drugs out of their home. Cannon County Sheriff’s Investigators Chris Brown, Brandon Gullett along with Sheriff Darrell Young and Chief Deputy Anthony Young went to the residence of Billy and Wanda Mayo. At first the couple denied knowing anything about any drugs in the home and gave the authorities permission to search the residence. Investigators noticed a scent of marijuana in the living room and upon searching found a coffee table with a hidden compartment. Inside the coffee table was drug paraphernalia, and morphine pills. Authorities found marijuana under the couch. Other items found included a .22 caliber pistol, four cell phones and $190 in cash. They charged the Mayos with maintaining a dwelling, manufacture, sale and delivering of Schedule VI drugs, two counts of simple possession of schedule II drugs. They will appear in Cannon County General Sessions Court June 14th to answer to the charges.
