Big Marijuana Bust In Saint Joseph Twp Friday

"A huge marijuana bust in Saint Joseph Township Friday. Officers of the Berrien County Narcotics Unit say that they raided a home at 3691 Lincoln Avenue and found 195-thousand dollars' worth of the drug growing in the basement. The seizure of the 195 plants followed a three month investigation into illegal drug activity at the residence after police received numerous complaints from citizens. Two people were arrested -- 37 year-old Ronald David Wolnik, and 34 year-old Elizabeth Anne Klank. Wolnik, who is currently on probation for a previous conviction of assault and battery, was lodged at the Berrien County Jail on several charges -- including child endangerment...and Elizabeth Klank, who is currently out on bond on an embezzlement charge, was also lodged at the county jail on similar charges. Two children were found in the home and turned over to relatives...and cars and assorted electronic equipment were seized from the property. The suspects could face additional penalties because of how close the home is to Upton Middle School."
