UK Drug and Alcohol Research Manager Accused Of Growing Marijuana
KENTUCKY....
Fifty-one year old Tracey Ellerbe, a manager in the University of Kentucky's Center on Drug and Alcohol Research, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a charge of cultivation of more than five marijuana plants. Police say, when Lexington firefighters responded to a fire Monday afternoon, they found more than 40 marijuana plants growing in her home. Fire officials said the grow lights Ellerbe was using in her attic had overloaded a circuit, causing a fire that left the home with significant damage. According to a document filed in Fayette District Court, Ellerbe admitted to growing the marijuana for personal use.
