Cops say pair was growing pot

Two Flanders residents were arrested for allegedly growing marijuana, Southampton Town Police said.

Nanette Campbell and Cori Thomas, both 50 and both of Glider Avenue, had called police to the house about 2 a.m. Friday about an unwanted person, but when an officer entered their backyard he discovered two marijuana plants growing in the yard, police said. Ms. Campbell signed a consent form allowing the officer to search the premises; he then found more marijuana in her bedroom, authorities said.

Mr. Thomas “admitted he cultivated marijuana,” police said.

Ms. Campbell was charged with fifth-degree criminal possession of marijuana while Mr. Thomas was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana, fourth-degree criminal possession of marijuana and growing cannabis without a license.

The unwanted person was never found, police said.
