WINONA — A St. Charles woman faces charges of possessing marijuana after more than 17 pounds of it were found in a house, shed and barbershop/salon.
Amy Joann Conlin, 50, of 229 Circle Drive, was charged April 1 with one count of fifth-degree controlled substance crime; it carries a maximum penalty of five years and/or a $10,000 fine.
The complaint alleges police got a search warrant to search the home of Amy and Stephen Conlin. At the time, Stephen Conlin was a candidate for a seat on the St. Charles City Council.
Police smelled an odor of marijuana and found a small indoor growing operation, a pistol and four long guns. They found more marijuana in the shed and the business.
Her first appearance has been set for Tuesday.
