A couple in neighboring Adair County has been sentenced for
trafficking in marijuana, and 2.014 acres on Millerfield Road in Adair County
has been forfeited and ordered to be sold at public auction by the Master
Commissioner, following drug trafficking convictions.
This real estate was forfeited to the state as part of a
plea agreement entered into by the owners, James Timothy Cook and Tammy Cook,
after they were each convicted of multiple counts of trafficking in marijuana
out of the residence.
The property will now be sold at public auction. The sale is
open to the public and is scheduled to take place at the Adair County Judicial
Center on Thursday, December 12 at 10 am. The proceeds will be distributed
among the various law enforcement agencies that assisted in the drug
investigation.
