Man’s Titans party busted up by raiders
A raid on a football party has led to the conviction of a local man on drug charges after police interrupted their Titans game with a search warrant last year.
The defendant, Kenneth Wayne Ammonette, was convicted by a jury Wednesday following a trial on the charge of possession of marijuana. He will be sentenced at a later date; however, the jury fixed his fine at a minimum $2,000 for the offense.
Ammonette, who also faces other separate drug charges, was arrested at his home off Airport Lake when police served a search warrant. Ammonette had been under investigation for some time before the raid.
When police arrived, they reported seeing numerous people scattering in different directions. It was later learned the group may have been at Ammonette’s house to watch a Titans game.
A search of the residence netted several drugs, apparently thrown down by other people at the party in their haste to leave. It was during a search of the building where the party was going on that lawmen found a safe which contained a quantity of marijuana. Ammonette reportedly admitted he smoked marijuana. Also found on Ammonette was $3,300 cash.
Ammonette will be sentenced for his conviction at a later date. He will also be docketed for trial on his separate drug charge.
