Nashville Pair Charged with Selling Drugs in Front of Kids

NASHVILLE, TN — A man and a woman are charged with selling heroin, crack and marijuana out of a South Nashville home and doing so with two children present.

Investigators executed a search warrant on a home on Hillside Avenue Tuesday and allegedly found Tony L. Braden in the kitchen holding a bag of marijuana. Police say on the kitchen counter they found 36 grams of marijuana, 6.2 grams of heroin and 6.3 grams of crack cocaine. All were bagged for resale, according to police.

Erika Webster and two children were found upstairs at the residence. Police say they learned Braden and Webster conduct drug sales in front of the children.

Webster denied she sells drug, though admitted to marijuana use. Police say Braden admitted to dealing drugs.

The pair face numerous drug-dealing charges, possession of drugs in a drug-free school zone and two counts of child neglect each.
