Another search warrant netted one and three-quarters pounds of marijuana from the suspect’s room located at 110 State Street in the City of Grayling.  Also seized were three vehicles, cash, electronic image storage devices and drug trafficking evidence.  The tip to S.T.I.N.G. officers and Deputies came from Grayling Police Officer Somero, who also assisted the S.T.I.N.G. officers and Sheriff’s Deputies in the arrest.  The suspect had moved here from Oscoda and failed to register as a sex offender.  He was released on parole in June 2007 after serving ten years in prison for criminal sexual conduct 1^st degree.  Charges are, also, being sought for failing to register violations.
