Someone left a marijuana plant, a silver revolver and a red substance outside EPB’s Market Street headquarters in broad daylight on Sunday afternoon, in what police are calling a “bizarre circumstance.”
The call came in about 2:49 p.m. in the afternoon. When the Chattanooga Police Department arrived, officers found a green, leafy marijuana plant, red blotches and droplets on the ground, and a silver revolver near the plant.
So far there are no witnesses, no victim and no external camera footage to provide any clues as to what happened. There were no gunshot wound victims reported at any area hospitals around the time that the plant, gun and red substance was found, so police are treating the situation as a “property found” call.
“There’s no crime committed, it’s just a very bizarre circumstance,” said Kyle Miller, communications coordinator for the Chattanooga Police.
The red substance will be tested, the firearm will be held and traced, and the plant will be destroyed.
