(irissett. 33, of Royal Oak Road, had been charged with one count each of possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver mari juana: selling and delivering mari juana: and felonious possession of mariin:in:i He agreed to plead guilty to the possession charge Thursday after his attorney. James Payne, failed to con vince Judge Knox Jenkins to sup press evidence gathered in a search of Grissett's home. The other charges were dismissed as part of a plea bargain. At the time of his arrest. Bruns wick County Sheriff's Department narcotics agents said Grissett was not on their list of suspected drug dealers. They learned of his activi ties by chance, through a joint inves tigation with the New Hanover County Sheriff 's Department. Vice agents there received a tip that a Carolina Beach man was plan ning to leave his job site and travel to Brunswick County to buy mari juana. according to Brunswick drug squad Detective David Crocker. Officers of both departments fol lowed the man to Grissett's home and back across the ("ape Fear River. New Hanover detectives pulled the man over and found 66 grams of marijuana and $550 cash in his car. Crocker said. The man admitted buying the marijuana from "a sub ject named Bob. who was with Brunswick County Animal Con trol." Brunswick detectives got a search warrant for Grissett's home, where they seized alioul three quarters of a pound of marijuana in various stages of processing for sale, Crocker said. In a clearing near the mobile home, they found 94 marijuana plants ranging in size from seedlings to 7 feet tall. Grissett was suspended from his county position after his arrest and was dismissed a short time later. He had been an animal control officer since April 1988 and supervisor since March 1992. Included in court records of the case were six letters from employees of the Brunswick County Health Department praising Grissett as a good co-worker and supervisor. In addition to his 60-day active jail term. Grissett was ordered to pay a $500 fine, $100 in lab fees and court costs. He was sentenced to two years in prison, suspended on the condition that he not use or pos sess illegal drugs, that he not associ ate with drug users and that he sub mit to searches and tests for illegal drug use. He was put on three years probation and will be allowed out of jail on work release.
