HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Two people with an alleged connection to a Florida pain clinic were arrested Thursday night after a drug bust at a Huntington apartment building.

Members of Huntington's Violent Crime Drug Task Force and the Cabell County Sheriff's Department searched an apartment on the 2300 block of Adams Avenue -- and arrested Brendon Lamm, 28, and Kristin Thacker, 26.

They found what they call a "sophisticated growing cabinet," and manuals for how to grow marijuana. Police also found marijuana in the freezer and in paper bags.

Officers seized a loaded 25 caliber handgun, boxes of ammo and Oxycontin pills with numerous Florida pain clinic business cards -- along with driving directions to the pain clinic.

Lamm was arrested on one count cultivation of marijuana, two counts possession with intent to deliver of a controlled substance and one county of delivery of a controlled substance.

Thacker was charged with one count cultivation of marijuana and two counts possession with intent to deliver of a controlled substance.

Both Lamm and Thacker are in the Western Regional Jail, pending bond.

I've known Brendan for about 5-6 years and as long as I known him, he's sold weed and fooled with pills. He's always had that cocky swagger to him and I'd love to see if he still has it in the clink!!

Another good indication of how stupid people can be. Bad choices are bad choices and can only lead to trouble. Come on people...why you want to ruin your life. Is it really worth it? Earn your money the honest way, you might be poor...but at least you aren't going to do time in jail.

I went to high school with Brendan and my husband lived with him briefly while attending Marshall. To everyone who thinks its B who brought down Kristin, you all are ignorant, country folk who need to think before writing these comments about someone you dont even know. B is a nice guy and came from a great family and was a good friend of mine. Ironically, I worked with Kristin while living in WV before she met B and she is *not* the perfect girl next door you people are making her out to be and making her look like a victim. She was using and buying pills, yes oxys at work and was a mess before B. Kristin made the decision to stay in a horrible situation and hope she realizes how pills have mae her life unmanagable and gets herself to rehab as soon as/if she gets bond.
