One of the five men accused of trafficking marijuana in Scott County last week stood before District Judge Vanessa Dickson Tuesday. Dickson dismissed the charges against them. They will face federal charges in U.S. District Court.

The five men charged last week with trafficking more than 360 pounds of marijuana through Scott County were taken into custody by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. The accused drug traffickers appeared in Scott District Court, where assistant county attorney Rand Marshall moved to dismiss all the charges against them. The men were then handed over to the DEA, which will press federal charges.
