Just before 9 a.m. on Wednesday, members of Trussville Police Department’s SRT along with detectives and Trussville PD’s new K9 addition “Leo” served a narcotics search warrant in the 8600 block of Highlands Drive, in the Carrington Lakes neighborhood.
A search of the residence produced two marijuana plants, marijuana packaged in plastic baggies, digital scales used to weigh the marijuana and a 9mm handgun.
Monique Deangela Hosea, 26, of Trussville, was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana in the first degree and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. She is currently being held at the Trussville City Jail. Warrants were obtained through the St. Clair County District Attorney’s Office and the bond was set at $3000.
Leo and officer Nate Holloway.
Trussville police officer Nate Holloway and his K9 partner Leo recently completed an intense seven week training program at Alabama Canine Law Enforcement Officer’s Training Center in Northport. Leo is a 21-month-old Belgium Malinois who is trained in narcotics detection and tracking.

Wow..carrington?..i guess the weed business must be doing well

Heroin. Get the heroin.
Stan Man
its sad she will get more time in prison than a child molester or a killer just for some weed.
Amanda Rains
2 plants in her home… oh boy.
Back to the heroin, meth, pill, and crack dealers please.

Still illegal…
Agree with some of your points
Sunny Taylor Love
That picture…..
Mary Frame
The article stated that they recovered other drug paraphernalia and a gun. Why do you always have guns with illegal drug trade. Get the crack dealers as well.
Amy Nesbitt Brackett
No wonder she can afford to live in Carrington! Selling them drugs !
Stan Man
the gun could have been simply for home defense as pot smokers are not violent unless they are hi on somethin else as well and wanna steal weed as somethin easier to get at the time

Two plants PLUS weed already packaged. The plants could have been some kind of employee of the month prize. The article does not state the amount of marijuana that was actually seized.
Amy Nesbitt Brackett
Probably selling other drug’s. They just haven’t caught her with!
Gloria Langley Vaughan
Y’all don’t have anything better to do ? MJ really , when there is drugs that are killing people ! What a waste of resources !

I saw yesterday. Not a very big bust for the amount of attention that it is receiving ☺️
Diana Katrina Ingram
Contrary to popular belief, people with a good education and an excellent job DO in fact smoke pot. Wake up!
Haley Amber McElroy
If only “they” would follow the law…. Enforce one, but ignore the ones that don’t generate $
Randy Mealer
they should operate within their means and not make people criminals over a plant
Kathy Sills
Theres more to this for sure
Kathy Sills
Nor does it tell the entire story
Amy Nesbitt Brackett
Exactly!! ^^^
Randy Mealer
no mens rea……….
J Renee Jackson Brown
I see

Love trussville
Where do you live deborah coleman
Mack Kilpatrick
Nobody cares about marijuana. How about Trussville PD stop wasting your time and tax dollars on a war on a PLANT that heals and has ZERO history of EVER causing harm. Especially when there is such an obvious opioid epidemic that IS causing harm & casualties in the community. Ridiculous.
Chris Clark
Oh no not the weed plants!! Come on
Kathy Sills
Doing their job..illegal still
Karl Waag
Weed is Medical stupid State. Should be a misdemeanor.
Mack Kilpatrick
Kathy Sills do you know why it’s illegal? Did you know it’s also illegal to collect rainwater? There are laws set in place solely to profit government that do no harm to people or their communities. Collecting rain water is one of them and marijuana is another.
Brandon J McArthur
Yet you can light up in Colorado I’m not a smoker but weed should either be legal or illegal
Faith Davidson
🤔
Zephaniah El Getachew Yehudah
It’s tells exactly what was found
Emmett Haislip
If she was selling marijuana at least nobody died from it, unlike meth, cocaine and heroin. It’s time to legalize marijuana.
Zephaniah El Getachew Yehudah
this is absolute bullshit and the gun wasn’t hers and nothing else was found. Just plants
Kristen H Bird
Wish they’d spend their time and our money on catching real criminals.
Michelle Armstrong Bagwell
Wow!! Carrie Withers!!
Greg Drake
And that my friend why it should be legal and we wouldn’t have as crowded jails and waste of tax money
Rusty Welch
Omg!! What a major drug bust! 2 whole pot plants that I’m sure were for personal use and not to distribute! Trussville pd must be very proud of their BIG accomplishment! It sure seems like it in the pic with the dog… So glad we have you guys to keep us save. Keep up the good work
Rusty Welch
If there is more to the story maybe they should put it in there before publishing the story and getting people all fired up.
Susan Duke
This is total bs. How about it Trussville? Another reason to move.
Josh Trimble
Complete waste of resources.
Tammy McCown
ASSume much? Nothing in this article implies that. When there is”more” to the story, fine. Til then she had 2 plants.
Brenda Panter Richards
Well that’s stupid to arrest her nothing wrong with some pot
Rusty Welch
That, meth and racism is the main issues in today’s society.
Sarah Beth Shubert
Kathy Sills I doubt it, probably some nosy neighbors who reported her.
Kathy Sills
We will see….
Zephaniah El Getachew Yehudah
Let her go, Free Hosea…,
Staci Folse
The picture shows 2 plants & 2 baggies with a couples of grams in them. That’s not exactly a “dealers” normal stash!
Chrys Black
The SWAT team was called out. It was a scary sight in our neighborhood :(. Sad. Hope nothing else crazy happens here.
Phillip Acton
The new Center Point (tongue planted firmly in cheek) 🙂
Sarah Beth Shubert
Why does this lady look so familiar!? And no she is not my dealer
Rusty Welch
It’s all about the money! If it doesn’t bring in revenue not much effort is put into it.
Kathy Sills
The media chooses what they want us to see…
Rusty Welch
Bet they would arrest the monkey 😂😂😂
Sarah Beth Shubert
Kathy Sills I agree with that but the Tribune?
Mack Kilpatrick
Rusty Welch 100% in agreement.
Rusty Welch
And if they were doing their job violent crime rate would go down.

They didn’t mention the bag full of pills either.

Why even put her picture up for some petty ass bullshit like this, like she went in a church an killed nine people… FOH

Terrible. Getting arrested for something that’s legal in America, just not our lame ass state
Deborah Coleman
Use to live in tville.. Logan martin now
Michael McCracken
Michael Winship
Kathy Sills
I love the tribune lots..the most honest media ever
Mack Kilpatrick
If pot was legal violent crime would go down. But our states overly conservative views refuse to look to the other legalized states and recognize its benefits. Not one negative has come from the states that have legalized. Crime has gone down. Opioid overdose cases have drastically decreased. Taxation on marijuana has made these states record amounts of money that they are using to house homeless. Build schools, roads etc. Not to mention the medical benefits. The list of positive effects of legalization goes on and on.
Kayla Jones Hallmark
Hee Jeong Sellers
Jameshia Miller
Ugh!😒
Shawna Stone
Hahaha. Oh dang Monique got busted lol
Rusty Welch
Apparently not because there is supposedly more to the story but the Tribune didn’t add it to the story.. Why was there a search warrant from another county? Seems like they were just testing out the new pup
Briana Moore
Carrington Lakes? Isn’t that the upscale gated community? Interesting.
Michelle Bate
Please leave the weed alone. Real drugs kill. Weed has not killed anyone. It should be treated as the medical item that it is. Alabama needs to move with the times. If Alabama legalized weed the amount of taxes could help our schools and pave our roads. This is nonsense. Have you guys not got bigger fish to catch? I am sure there are worse things going on in the world to check on.
Charlie Philpot
Sounds like there are a few more houses to check by some of the comments!
Kathy Sills
Rusty…we are wasting our time..you are in the know😅
Dennis Gray
All I wanna know is who snitched?
Daniel Cooper
I feel so much safer. I can’t stand plants. People shouldn’t be able to own plants or do anything with them that isn’t tightly regulated and monitored by government overseers.
Daniel Ingram
She should be glad she isn’t a man. There would have been more, steeper charges.
Susan Gill
Can we worry about real crime please? It should be a crime to lock someone up for weed
Susanna Renee
How bout lets focus on all the meth, heroin and other stuff that’s in Trussville or that comes through there then weed! or how bout all the people under the influence who get a slap on the wrist even if they take a life or not! #WakeUpItsLegalInManyStates. #AlabamaNeedsToCatchUp
Mack Kilpatrick
Millionaires enjoy liquor. So do the homeless. Why would marijuana be any different?
Paul Pale Coney
Nobody agrees with marijuana arrests. Can we all agree that the way the war on drugs has been waged is a failure?
Marie Ash Jones
Erika Freeman is she ur neighbor
Tyler Blake Bigbee
I know right?! That’s insane!
Shawna Stone
I know. I wouldn’t have thought that she would get arrested
Zephaniah El Getachew Yehudah
Who snitched
Rusty Welch
Opioid overdoses murders fatal dui accidents ect in their eyes is all about population control
Daniel Cooper
The War on Drugs has been won… by drugs. Continuing to fight it is no different than a redneck telling you the south done gone rise again.
Allen N Linda Cunningham
She was probably under secret squirrel investigation for months and months
Jordan Sharbutt
Congratulations TPD, you successfully spent thousands of tax-money to stop one woman from smoking HER OWN weed
Jordan Sharbutt
Y’all are seriously overthinking this whole situation. That woman is not apart of some big drug ring
Josh Burgans
I agree with marijuana arrests. I’m not sure why people have a hard time avoiding illegal drugs. My dog is more obedient that many adults it seems.
Josh Burgans
That’s like saying murders still occur so what’s the point of continuing to try to stop murders.
Josh Nichols
Being arrested and given a criminal record on something the government has a patent on (US6630507) is asinine.
Josh Burgans
Because you can’t focus on multiple things at once? I’m sure if the TPD got a tip on a meth lab, they’d raid it too.
Valerie Cole Woodall
That is what I call Stepford town! They thibk it is all so perfect! Give me a break…when I went to school there they had drug busts in Jr High! They just cover it up or somebody’s daddy with deep pockets probably pays someone off to keep it hush hush!! What a joke!!
Josh Burgans
Smoking weed has almost no medical benefit. In fact marijuana smoke has many of the same carcinogens that tobacco smoke has, most in higher concentration since marijuana is usually smoked without any filter. If you want to fight for actual medicine based on cannabinoid extracts, that is one thing, but saying people should be able to smoke weed for medical purposes is pretty much baseless.
Annie Love
What? Stupid!!!
Valerie Cole Woodall
Marijuana is still illegal I believe because they woukd lose out on the money they get for fines and court fees from busting people! It grows out of the ground! Why not make alcohol and cigerettes illegal…they are known killers!!
Josh Burgans
Marijuana is a schedule one drug at the federal level and thus illegal. So how is it legal in America? It may be legal in some states, but federal law trumps state and local laws.
Sarah Beth Shubert
Rusty Welch spill the beans Rusty!
Matthew Richardson
Valerie Cole Woodall the state and local municipalities would generate more in taxes by legalizing mj than they do from arrests and fines. When you add up man hours, housing, feeding etc more money is wasted than is generated for an mj arrest/conviction. Colorado is a prime example of the positive economic affects from legalization. Tax revenue has increased greatly and crime has dropped noticeably.
Josh Burgans
Valerie Cole Woodall I think enforcement of drug laws creates a net loss. As for growing out of the ground, how is that relevant to anything?
Susanna Renee
You must be against Mary Jane right? Point is there’s more serious things going on all around then weed plants! They wanna do something good for the community stop the other things, get these people behind bars who are killing innocent kids and people, get the ones dealing deadly drugs! You know why this story isn’t important my aunt was killed by a driver under the influence of drugs not weed! Do you know she isn’t behind bars yet after almost two years??? But this woman who has plants ((she was not caught smoking keep in mind)) but shes behind bars?? The people who take the lives of others should be behind those bars not people who have freaking plants in their home/possession
Seth Austin
Woah way to go Trussville pd!! You ruined someone’s life for possessing a harmless plant. Meanwhile alcohol kills people every day but we’re all so excited for the craft beer joint coming to Trussville right?? What a joke
Robert Empresario Bates
So why haven’t the government sent agents to Colorado to arrest have the state? The real so called war on drugs was a tactic to keep control over paper mills because one candidate wanted to introduce hemp to the country because hemp was cheaper to manufacture and the 2% would have lost money if that control was taken over.
Zephaniah El Getachew Yehudah
TPD could have just destroyed them lil plants an let her go
Robert Empresario Bates
Let’s outlaw alcohol because it kills millions of innocent people every year due to drunk driving. Yet we are encouraged to drink and celebrate drinking as a pastime for many. Turn 21 go drink! Then elected to drive home without incident from Police. Weed just kills the snack aisle at WalMart.
Summer N Eric Johnson
Because those states it’s legal in is apart of America? (T＿T)
Stanley Mcguire
She broke the law
Patrick Murphy
House note coming up….
Zephaniah El Getachew Yehudah
it’s illegal to wear blue jeans while walking down Noble Street.
Dean Bradford
Under federal law, it is illegal to possess, use, buy, sell, or cultivate marijuana, since the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, claiming it has a high potential for abuse and has no acceptable medical use. Since Alabama has no “exemption” for medical or recreational use, she broke the law!
Susan Michelle
It does not say she was charged with illegal possession of a handgun, so why even print they found one? What difference does it make?
Jacob Aaron Tortorici
Nathan White Vickie Carr White
Michelle Bate
What I see here is that you seem to equate Marijuana to Cigarettes. So why is it OK for Cigarettes to be sold at every gas station in America but not Marijuana? Cigarette smoking has been proven to cause cancer and many other medical conditions. Weed. Not so much. Science has proven that Marijuana helps with epilepsy as well as anxiety.
Shanekia Vashun Mobley

Josh Burgans I didn’t see where Michelle mentioned smoking in particular, did her original comment get edited? As I’m sure you know, there are numerous other ways of introducing THC/CBDs into the human body besides smoking. There are also ways of smoking that are less toxic than others, for instance, taking a butane lighter out of the equation (as how cigarettes are lit) would certainly cut down on carcinogen exposure from inhalation. As for current medical use, beyond the recent findings of CBD (which is not THC) helping with seizures, Marinol has been pharmaceutically produced for over a decade to help with weight gain / appetite stimulant treatment for those with cancer in addition to other medically related treatment uses. When I worked as a PharmTech over a decade ago, Marinol came in the form of a capsule.
Hillary Jones
Rusty Welch I think the reason there was a warrant issued from St Clair is because Carrington may fall within St Clair and Jefferson County lines. The very back part of the Neighborhood was a few years ago, and may still be (although I think this was brought before the Board in recent years) zoned for Springville schools despite a Trussville address. So I think the multiple county warrant has more to do with zoning than anything else.
Skyler Williams
The drug war is over now
Rusty Welch
Kathy Sills I’m not sure what you mean lol
Rusty Welch
I didn’t know that. I thought the county line was closer to Springville? I could be wrong but I’m not familiar with where the county line start and end.
Hillary Jones
It seems that the idea of a gun makes drug busts that much more scandalous, when we all know that over half the population has a gun in their home (whether they are committing other crimes or not). Should the kitchen steak knives be mentioned too? To me, it falls under that same mentality, and I think your original comment leans that way as well. The possession of a firearm, whether legal or not, does increase the severity of a crime and bond if the crime that is committed is a felony or the person being charged has a previous criminal history, so that also may be why such extra weight is placed on mentioning a gun in a story about a crime being committed even though the gun wasn’t specifically involved in the crime being committed.
Rusty Welch
I doubt 2 pot plants will pay a house note in Carrington 😂😂
Hillary Jones
Rusty Welch I’m not knowledgeable about the exact part of the County line either, but I do know that a few years ago several of the homes in the back part of Carrington were zoned for Springville schools despite Carrington being predominantly zoned for Trussville schools, so that’s what made me think that perhaps the warrant from St Clair County had more to do with zoning.
Rusty Welch
That makes sense I never knew that. Learn something new every day. That would be a long drive to school of the kids went to Springville and lived in Carrington
Evan Dobbs
Legalize it already.SMDH
Lee Jeffrey
Way to go guys! You nabbed two more plants! Incredible job! Keep up the good work protecting us from the violent and poisonous trees of evil! Lock her up and throw away the key. She’s an illegal Gardner from hell!
Scott Hollon
Good ole worthless as crap tpd…..same trash. As ever.
Ken Armstrong
Why did she need scales and a 9mm to smoke her own stash ?
Taylor Sheppard
I’m so encouraged by these comments. Legalize Alabama
Jordan Sharbutt
Why do you automatically assume scales and a 9mm are related to her weed plants?😂😂😂
Kathy Sills
It was a joke…
Pamela Whittington Shepard
Wow! Sounds like she may have been distributing. Hope there were no kids living in the home.
Pamela Whittington Shepard
More than that per the article.
Steven Sloan
Fuck the Trussville PD
Lee Jeffrey
“A search of the residence produced two marijuana plants, marijuana packaged in plastic baggies, digital scales used to weigh the marijuana and a 9mm handgun”
I guess it depends on the legality of the handgun to you then right?
Liz Trucks Willingham
Lol!!!! This made my day…
Sandy Walters Dempsey
Debbie Hutton isn’t this on your street?
Zephaniah El Getachew Yehudah
That’s weed seeds in the bags

Wow. Seeds. It just keeps getting more and more horrible.

I hope trussvillians sleep easy tonight knowing this ruthless criminal is off the streets. Meanwhile in clay a man can confess to murder and spend the next few months peeing in his yard and staring down neighbors.

Josh, never say never. You may find yourself with a son/daughter who suffers from serious epilepsy/seizures and the only thing that will help him/her happens to be the plants you bashed that woman for having back on 9/14/17.
Antonio Smith
They dispatched a Whole unit for 2 plants of weed. What a waste of resources. It’s amazing what people assume, if your staying in a nice neighborhood you gotta be a drug dealer. Hell most people smoke pot on the regular. People!!!!!

Elijah Harrison
Wow what a waste of resources….
Curious what the warrant was even for or how they even decided to go after her..
Gary Bowers
What do you expect from a neighborhood on the other side of the tracks.
Dennis Tina Spencer
The smile on the cops face next to those plants is like someone just shot bambi, and they are posing like they shot a 10 pt buck! Trussville PD….smh
Dennis Tina Spencer
Winner!
Skyler Williams
He’s real pleased with his big bust.
Quita Waldrop
I think it is ridiculous that MJ is illegal. How many people die from it? VS how many people die from all that man made crap with side effects that make you want to kill yourself before it does! SMH
Skyler Williams
Surely this is just a joke. There is no way they posted this on Facebook being serious.
Summer N Eric Johnson
Exactly. It’s a scam. Everyone knows its something that can help our country and medically it does wonders. I don’t see how people can vote against such an amazing breakthrough
Kaitlyne Elizabeth Blizzard
This is absolutely ridiculous. Marijuana charges have to be the most idiotic thing you can be arrested for. Unless she was endangering a child by having the pot around, she shouldn’t have been arrested. This is a waste of time and money on a ‘drug’ that is basically universal now in 2017 and provides numerous medical benefits.

Mallory Anderton
Huh?
Mallory Anderton
While people are making a killing off weed in Colorado and California – opening businesses, paying loads of taxes that benefit the community, and having a booming tourist industry – we are busting into people’s homes and ruining their lives over it. What a damn shame.
Jenny Powers
Busted!
Matt Willis
Marijuana possession! LOL Let’s start actually putting real felons in jail!! I can’t believe owning a plant is illegal!!
Paul Allen
Oh no! A woman had pot plants, meanwhile your priest is raping your kids, your senator is robbing you blind to pay for his 5th house and 12th car, your police are killing you in the streets and getting away with it. But thank our imaginary jackass of a skydaddy this woman is behind bars. SMDH
LarryTiffany Beard
Margaret Leonard
David Garrard
If in anyone in 2017 thinks spending billions of dollars a year fighting the “war” on marijuana, locking up non violent offenders on the tax payers dime and clogging up the court systems is a good idea, then they’re insane. The state’s that have legalized are reaping the financial benefits and bringing thousands of jobs to their states. Prohibition does not work. Period
David Garrard
How is that the same thing josh. Prohibition hasn’t worked. The war on drugs is an epic failure that has criminalized a health issue. Much like failed alcohol prohibition empowered organized crime, drug prohibition has empowered the cartels. But we are talking about marijuana here. No man or woman should lose their freedom over this. Ever.
Eric Baumann
We just had a drive by shooting in our neighborhood at the local trap house the other night. Cops kinda drove by. But thank god that got this lady and her two plants.. Jesus
BenandLindsey Brown
Shawn Emanuel ♀️ our old neighborhood lol
Trey Roberts
You don’t make the money to own a home in Carrington Lakes by selling marijuana or any other drug for that matter. No one gets rich or even brakes even selling drugs except the big cartel leaders and government agents that get paid off to look the other way. Too much Miami vice and rap music has warped the truth about drug dealing and the money to be made off of it .
Dave Green
Two marijuana plants? Two?
David Garrard
Wow Josh Burgans you seem to know more than the medical industry. How interesting
Matthew Beverly
Haha!!! Look how pitiful those plants look
John Nichols
Thank God we got that evil drug kingpin off the streets!
Dana Kilcoyne White
My thoughts exactly
Jason Carey
Phillip Acton Yep…slowly creeping that way.
Joanna Miller Lucia
I see some of you posting it’s only marijuana plants. Just remember it’s against the law.
Amanda Williams
God, mine too. Let this woman live! Wasn’t like she had bricks of it. It looks like she threw a few random seeds from her own in a pot to see if they’d grow.
John Nichols
You cannot legislate morality, no matter what you do.
John Nichols
So is feeding the hungry in some jurisdictions. Something being against the law does not mean it’s wrong necessarily. What is lawful and what is right are NOT the same thing.
Joshua Graham Winn
Joanna. No.
Gaylyne Glover-Richardson
It shouldn’t be.
Joshua Graham Winn
Let’s talk about this: police arresting a black woman in Carrington Lakes for some weed. Anyone else see a potential problem here? SWAT team for some pot plants? A little stereotypical police work here? Overkill much?
Joanna Miller Lucia
No
Joshua Graham Winn
Skyler Williams good grief
Joshua Graham Winn
Best comment on this post
Joshua Graham Winn
And speeding
Joshua Graham Winn
It’s not overkill to send a swat team in to arrest a woman for marijuana? Are you insane?
Joanna Miller Lucia
I agree it was overkill with swat team.
Joshua Graham Winn
Contrary to what you think, pot is harmless, non addictive, and much less dangerous than alcohol or the prescription drug epidemic in this country. Let’s fight a real fight against prescription drugs and heroin. This is just silly. Waste of time, our money, our police force, the medias time for covering this. who else wasted time on this? It’s a joke this is a crime. A complete joke. Joanna – how many laws do you break daily?
Joanna Miller Lucia
And I am not insane Joshua Graham Winn.
Joanna Miller Lucia
Unless your family has been affected by drug addiction you don’t have a clue
Michael Gibbs
It’s the Charlie Brown strain
Robert Empresario Bates
Having a cocktail and driving home is breaking the law as well but I assume you already knew that, Einstein. As we already knew what you stated.
LaTrelle Grayson
Pot is illegal. And all of you who point out benefits are forgetting that it is illegal. Did I point out that it is illegal? Great job TPD.
Morgan Laine Turner
Marijuana is not addictive though…
Morgan Laine Turner
Exactly. She could have got a warning but we treat marijuana the same as heroin. If she had like 20 Ibs I could see it being I bigger deal than two small plants.
Joanna Miller Lucia
Blah blah blah. All you people make me tried. You do not have a clue.
Zephaniah El Getachew Yehudah
Not in your gòd eyes
Ross Jacobs
I thought prohibition didn’t work the fist time and it caused more problems than it solved by creating high profit margins and dangerous incentives for organized crime.
What’s different about prohibition 2.0 that somehow works?
Matt Brownlee
I busted out laughing when I saw the picture of the seized goods! It’s like saying we got a drop of rain out of the ocean. What a joke.
Jenny Melville
Nothing^^ because now we have synthetics that are killing people instead of the natural stuff curing people.
Mack Kilpatrick
Again. Like I said above. So is collecting rain water. Some laws are set into place solely for the benefit of the government.
Morgan Laine Turner
I believe I do considering I used to smoke. Weed is non addictive. Literally cigarettes are worse for you because the nicotine is habit forming.
Morgan Laine Turner
I could understand if it was coke, heroin, meth, etc but weed is far from needing this kind of police force. They could have destroyed the plants and given her a fine. No need to plug up the jails with minor criminal offenses. Driving drunk is far worse than what this lady did but its illegal so we sent a swat team even though we haven’t finished the park on Mainstreet since it got started back in 2010.
John Nichols
Feeding people that are hungry is illegal in some jurisdictions. What’s your point? Being illegal and being wrong are NOT THE SAME THING. Just like being legal and being right are NOT the same thing.
