PUTNAM COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — A four-month drug investigation led to an arrest Tuesday morning on Baxter Road.
The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division, along with the SWAT team and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, served a search warrant at a home in the 6000 block of Baxter Road on Feb. 24.

Four adults were found inside the home. Porter Conrad Vance was arrested and faces multiple charges, including manufacturing and selling Schedule I and II drugs, several firearm-related offenses, tampering with evidence, simple possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Vance’s bond is set at $623,500. He is scheduled to appear in court on March 4.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
