The Manchester Police and the Coffee Sheriff’s departments worked together Monday to bust two individuals for possession for resale marijuana. The departments used a tip that the duo would be attempting to sell the 1lb of pot to someone they were to meet at Hullett’s Shell on the Woodbury Highway. Tony Chanthavone of Manchester and Cody Vongnarath of Antioch, TN. are facing charges in the case. According to Manchester Police Investigator Sturat Colwell, police here contacted Nashville Metro and ask for them to search of a residence in Antioch.
