Fred Kent Parker, 32, was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana, cultivating marijuana five plants or more, possession of drug paraphernalia second offense, two counts of prescription of controlled substance not in the original container and tampering with physical evidence.

Barren County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence on Temple Hill Road in reference to a tip they received on stolen property and drug activity at the residence.

Sheriff Chris Eaton said they had arrived at Parker’s home while investigating the break-in at a the concession stand at Temple Hill Elementary that occurred late Friday or early Saturday. The window of the concession stand had been broken out and candy and chips taken from the stand.

After obtaining the warrant, deputies entered the residence where they found Parker hiding under the mattress in the bedroom, 60 marijuana plants, marijuana crusher, marijuana pipes and other items of drug paraphernalia.
