Police say the three month old probe into missing marijuana broadened after tracing a pot filled trash bag. Lt. Tom Stehley noted no entry was forced and the case remains active with final charges to be decided by the state attorney. Four defendants accepted reduced charges with no jail time under a plea deal brokered after contesting chain of custody and missing inventory.
