Virginia Man named Stoner Arrested for Marijuana

A Virginia man by the name of Stoner was charged with growing - you guessed it - more than $10,000 worth of marijuana, according to The Associated Press.

Paul Scott Stoner, 42 of Unionville, was charged with manufacturing marijuana and carrying a firearm while having more than a pound of marijuana in possession, according to AP via the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

It's believed the charges came after a tip claiming Stoner allegedly sold marijuana to children in the area.

During last Thursday's search, police seized loose marijuana, marijuana plants, prescription drugs, hypodermic needles, drug paraphernalia, spoons and guns, according to NY Daily News via a statement by the Blue Ridge Narcotics Task Force.

But Stoner wasn't a marijuana-growing rookie.

"The street value of the marijuana plants seized is $10,500," the statement said, according to Uproxx.

The statement said the Department of Social Services is involved in the investigation that is still ongoing.

Further charges are pending, though Stoner is free on bond, according to UK's The Telegraph. Stoner's hearing is set for Aug. 27.
