CRESTVIEW — An Auburn community resident faces multiple charges after Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office deputies responding to a 9-1-1 call allegedly found marijuana growing in a child’s bedroom and inside a backyard shed.
Deputies responded to Tansey Lane the evening of Jan. 30 after getting a 9-1-1 call from the area. A male voice was heard saying, “You want to pull a gun on me?” but then the caller hung up and did not respond when dispatchers tried to call back.
When deputies arrived at the home, they found two men, a woman and a child inside. During a security sweep, they allegedly discovered marijuana plants growing in the child’s bedroom closet. After obtaining a search warrant, they also allegedly located marijuana growing in an outdoor shed.
The female said she and Christopher Wade Cline, 27, fought over him smoking marijuana and she called her brother to come get her. She said that, once her brother showed up, Cline picked up a pistol and put it in his pocket. Deputies said he displayed the gun during the argument. The victim signed a drop-charges form.
Cline’s charges include child neglect, production of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and smuggling contraband into a detention facility.
