Dec 27, 2009 Online Issue
WINCHESTER — A Winchester father and son arrested last August after police allegedly saw marijuana plants growing in their apartment through an open window facing Main Street have received a Feb. 10 trial date in Randolph Superior Court.
Glenn E. Younker, 51, is charged with maintaining a common nuisance, a Class D felony carrying a standard 18-month prison term, and possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor.
His son, Jeremiah J. Younker, 24, faces the same charges as his father, and is also charged with possession of a narcotic drug, a Class D felony. Authorities said they found six oxycodone pills in the younger Younker’s bedroom.Two Winchester police officers reported seeing the plants, some of them as high as five feet tall, while the officers went door to door in the Younkers’ neighborhood to tell residents to move their vehicles off Main Street to allow for paving work.
A hearing is set Jan. 20 on a motion by the elder Younker’s attorney, Dale Arnett, to suppress evidence in the case.
