SEVIER COUNTY, Tenn. — An assistant Sevier County fire chief and his wife were arrested on drug charges after deputies answering a domestic disturbance call to their home early Sunday found 40 bags of suspected marijuana.
Michael Huskey of the Sevier County Volunteer Fire Department and his wife, Jodie, were charged with possession of marijuana for resale. Huskey has also been charged with domestic assault.
According to warrants, deputies went to their residence on Old Newport Highway to investigate a report of a domestic disturbance.
During the investigation, Jodie Huskey told deputies there was “a large amount of marijuana” in the garage, and “opened a crate that contained 40 bags of a green leafy substance, believed to be marijuana,” the warrant states. The total weight was estimated at 37 ounces.
The Huskeys were arrested and posted bond.
The next day, Michael Huskey was rearrested on the domestic violence charge, based on a warrant signed by Jodie Huskey alleging that he had struck her on Sunday in a dispute over a cellphone.
