2 Franklin Attorneys Indicted On Pot Charges

FRANKLIN, TN -- Two Franklin attorneys, both former prosecutors and one a former assistant district-attorney, were indicted on drug-dealing charges Tuesday.

Franklin Police arrested Georgia Felner and Sandra Wells following the grand jury indictment; both allegedly sold drugs to FPD undercover officers.

“This case is particularly disappointing because of the close working relationship and trust that the criminal justice community had with both defendants. The Department is especially thankful for the assistance and support provided to us in this investigation by District Attorney General Kim Helper’s Office," FPD Chief Deborah Faulkner said.

Both women are currently in private practice, but did have previous prosecutorial experience. Felner worked as an assistant DA from 2001 to 2007 and Wells was the DA office's DUI coordinator for 14 months starting in 2006.

Felner is charged with sale of a Schedule VI controlled substance and delivery of a Schedule VI controlled substance. Wells is charged with sale of a Schedule VI controlled substance and possession of a Schedule VI controlled substance with intent to sell or deliver. All of the charges are felonies. Bond was set for both defendants at $7,500.

Schedule VI controlled substances are marijuana and its derivatives.
