911 Call Leads To Ferndale Pot Bust

Police made a drug bust at a Ferndale home last week while responding to a potential emergency, Local 4 reported.

Officers responded to the home to do a welfare check after a person who called 911 hung up on the dispatcher.

Police said officers became suspicious when the man who answered the door was uncooperative.

"He wouldn't allow them to enter the house and he refused to give his name to the officers," said Detective Lt. Norm Raymond, of the Ferndale Police Department.

After obtaining a warrant, officers went inside and found in the basement of the home: 83 marijuana plants, fertilizer, lights and other tools used to grow marijuana, police said.

Marlon Albert, 37, was arrested at the home. Ester Parker, 33, who rents the home, was also taken into custody, Local 4 reported.

"She was arrested at the border crossing going to Canada, and held until we went and picked her up," said Raymond.

Albert (pictured, above) and Parker (pictured, right) were both charged with delivering and manufacturing a controlled substance.
