Earlier that day, cops said, someone called 911 to report “possible drug activity” at a self-storage facility in the 1700 block of Cobb Parkway South.
Officers brought K-9 Apex, who sniffed them toward a specific storage unit. Cops set up and waited.

The department said its officers saw Raiford and Passmore remove the drugs from the locker and pulled them over as they drove off.
They said cops seized 30 one-pound packages of marijuana.
The department thanked the tipster in its press release.
As of Friday morning, records indicated that the pair remained in jail without bond.
