Who Snitched in Iron City Drug Bust?


Giving New Meaning to the Person Who Does for You?


For weeks, Wayne County Sheriff Shane Fisher has spoken of three partners in the huge Iron City grow operation. Only three people were caught on video entering and exiting the warehouse on Highway 13. Fisher stated multiple times that he had warrants for only three people. Now the Quad-Cities Daily has quoted Fisher as saying more arrests are likely.

Call it snitching, ratting, narking, or grassing, it would appear that one of the three named partners in the huge grow warehouse has given up some more names. All three partners face the same four charges in Tennessee and could see over 60 years in the state prison system if some sort of plea isn't reached. Pleas often involve agreeing to testify against fellow defendants and/or identifying previously unknown participants in a crime. 

Who's the most obvious choice? The next question: Does this (junior) partner know enough to make any of her information valuable to law enforcement? After all, family and friends of the Sheffield cleaning woman Alisa Lynn Balentine say she was a mere pawn in the illicit grow house. 

Parker Brothers may have a new version of Clue in the works; was it the optometrist in the mansion, the janitress in the warehouse, or the administrator in his mother's corner office?

  1. I hope more people come forward with information. The sooner people start standing up and helping law enforcement, the sooner people will be safer. Stop protecting the criminals and start protecting the lives and families they destroy.
