Tosha Nichols, 27, Mt. Pleasant, faces the same felony charges as Griffin.

The Henry County Sheriff?s Office, the Mt. Pleasant and New London Police departments conducted the search warrant at 1679 Wapello Drive, Mt. Pleasant.

Marijuana, U.S. currency and other items indicating drug distribution were seized at the residence.
