SUMTER, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina husband, wife and son have been charged with trafficking marijuana after authorities say they seized more than 63 pounds of pot worth an estimated $180,000.
Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis tells local media that 59-year-old Robert Hendrix and 61-year-old Marianne Hendrix were arrested Wednesday. Thirty-year-old Michael Anthony Hendrix turned himself in Thursday.
Dennis says investigators learned that the family had returned to South Carolina from Washington state with a large haul of marijuana. Although marijuana is legal in Washington state, it’s illegal to take marijuana outside the state.
