Yendry and Horn are both accused of selling marijuana.

Quincy Miller, lives next door to Tyler Cowdin and Michael King, who are both accused of selling marijuana from their home.

Sharon Thomas, who lives blocks away from campus on Waits Avenue near Bud Dillard and Earl Burke, said both were friendly.
