Loud Music Ends With Suspected Drug Dealer's Arrest

A suspected marijuana grower in Madisonville faces criminal charges after perhaps being a bit "too" honest with authorities.

Sheriff's deputies came to the Bramble Avenue home of Barry Volkering yesterday on a noise complaint and asked him about the smell of marijuana.

The deputies say Volkering proceeded to tell them outright that the smell was that of the marijuana plants he had growing in his basement.

Their investigation found 11 plants in his home and 450 grams of pot, as well as a scale and pipes.

He now faces several felony charges.
