Police charged a 21-year-old and 25-year-old, from Clarksville, and a 25-year-old, from Mount Juliet, with felony possession of marijuana and related charges. They could face up to 25 years in prison.
Two Palmyra 19-year-olds and a 33-year-old and 39-year-old, from Clarksville, were charged with conspiracy to deliver marijuana. They face a maximum of ten years in prison.
