SALISBURY — A father and son were charged Tuesday with marijuana possession after complaints came in to authorities about a lot of short-term traffic at their home.
The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said the complaints were for a home at 5440 U.S. 601, the home of Patrick Leffew and his son, Robert Lee Leffew.
Authorities were able to get a search warrant for the home, and Tuesday they found more than 90 grams of “high grade” marijuana, four rifles and one handgun.
