\nTwo Louisville residents were arrested Monday on drug trafficking charges after police say they were selling marijuana and THC products from a Louisville warehouse.<\/p>\n
Police say they caught the suspects, Tara Lyles and James Lyles, with the help of their TikTok pages.<\/p>\n
Kentucky State Police have been keeping an eye on the Lyles\u2019 since February, when they got a tip the two were operating a large-scale drug operation involving marijuana and THC products. The two were allegedly posting videos of the drug-making process on their TikTok pages.<\/p>\n
Kentucky State Police detectives used the information to set up an undercover operation. One of the detectives set up a meeting to buy some marijuana off of Tara Lyles at a Kroger parking lot.<\/p>\n
When the \u201cbuy\u201d happened, Lyles allegedly told the undercover detective that she \u201cpackages the product on a thousands level scale and just completed a 1,000 pack order over the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that information, the TikTok videos and information gained from a GPS tracking device, police were able to track the suspects down to a warehouse on Bishop Lane in Louisville\u2019s Newburg area. Police say they also discovered the two had operations out of an Oldham County facility.<\/p>\n
Kentucky State Police detectives executed a search warrant on the Newburg warehouse in April. Inside they found a large marijuana edible production area and four safes containing THC products and marijuana \u201cflower.\u201d<\/p>\n
All in all, police seized 218 pounds of marijuana from the warehouse, worth an estimated $440,485 on the street.<\/p>\n
Both Tara and James Lyles were charged with trafficking marijuana. Tara Lyles was also charged with possession of drugs\/drug paraphernalia.
