While at the scene, the officers noted the smell of marijuana outside the home, and that scent grew stronger as they entered the residence. During the investigation, Mena allegedly admitted to smoking marijuana and "also admitted that there was more marijuana in an upstairs bedroom," the incident report states.

A search of the home unearthed marijuana in a glass jar, a baggie inside the drawer of the master bedroom, a spice jar in the kitchen, a marijuana grinder and glass smoking pipe and a small glass container with what cops believed to be THC wax inside.

Mena "admitted ownership" of the drugs and paraphernalia and was charged with possession of marijuana less than an ounce and possession of a schedule I substance. She was booked into the Fulton County Jail and later released Oct. 13 on a $6,000 bond. Dixon also was released Oct. 13 on a $2,500 bond.

According to TMZ, Mena also appeared in season seven of "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta."
