Apex, the dog, and Marietta cops arrested two people on drug charges after they say they found all that marijuana in a storage unit.

Marietta police arrested two people after they said an undercover operation led officers to a storage unit filled with $100,000 of marijuana.

Chuck Raiford, 40, and Telisha Passmore, 45, were arrested Thursday each on a single marijuana trafficking charge, Cobb County jail records show. They are both from Columbus.

Earlier that day, cops said, someone called 911 to report “possible drug activity” at a self-storage facility in the 1700 block of Cobb Parkway South.

Officers brought K-9 Apex, who sniffed them toward a specific storage unit. Cops set up and waited.

The department said its officers saw Raiford and Passmore remove the drugs from the locker and pulled them over as they drove off.

They said cops seized 30 one-pound packages of marijuana.

The department thanked the tipster in its press release.

As of Friday morning, records indicated that the pair remained in jail without bond.
