Police Seize 2 Pounds of Marijuana in Search

Police officers warning Campustown residents about the dangers of out-of-control VEISHEA parties seemed to stumble upon one Thursday leading to a drug bust, according to complaints.

Officers walking past a Donald Street home about 7 p.m. Thursday smelled the odor of marijuana and requested a search warrant. When officers entered the home about an hour later, officers said they saw a thick haze of smoke in the air that smelled like burnt marijuana, according to complaints. One of the other people in the home admitted to smoking marijuana with one of its residents, Shawn Greteman, complaints said.

Police found marijuana and money in amounts that indicated marijuana dealing, pipes, bong and a grinder with raw marijuana inside, complaints said.

The total amount of marijuana seized was 960.8 grams, just a little more than two pounds, police said. Police also found adderall, a stimulant medication which requires a prescription and Greteman had no prescription for the medication, complaints said.

Greteman, 21, was charged with gathering where controlled substances were unlawfully used, unlawful possession of a prescription drug, possession with intent to deliver marijuana; possession of drug paraphernalia and a drug stamp tax violation at 11:41 p.m. at 2308 Donald Street.

Both the possession with intent to deliver marijuana and drug tax stamp violation are class D felonies, punishable by up to, five years in prison each.
