(NASHVILLE) - Two people were arrested in Nashville as part of a drug investigation that began after the death of an area teen.
Police arrested 23-year-old Cody Breedlove on charges of dealing marijuana and maintaining a public nuisance. They also arrested his girlfriend, 18-year-old Amber Brown, on a charge of maintaining a public nuisance.
Johnson County Sheriff Doug Cox says Breedlove was arrested after the suspected overdose death of an 18-year-old. Breedlove and Brown have not been charged in connection with the teen's death, which still is under investigation.
The Johnson County Sheriff's Office and Morgan County Sheriff's Office worked together after learning Breedlove was selling drugs from a home in Morgantown.
On Dec. 6, 11 and 14, Breedlove sold marijuana in undercover drug deals. Sheriff Cox says Breedlove sold more than an ounce of marijuana, worth more than $450, which he vacuum-sealed to prevent the drug's distinctive scent from being detected.
Investigators also recorded the purchases and saw other people at the home buying drugs from Breedlove.
Brown did not participate in the deals, but was at home and saw the drug-related activity.
On Jan. 9, police arrested Brown and Breedlove at a different home in Nashville, where the two recently had moved. Inside, they found drug paraphernalia, more than $4,000 in cash and guns, according to the report.
Both were arrested and taken to the Brown County jail. The case will be handled in Morgan County, where the reported drug deals took place.
