Roy Avery stands on his front porch watching in disbelief as police escort his neighbor Donald Tavalin out of his home in handcuffs.
"It's a good neighborhood," said Avery. "You know, people are quiet. We don't have things like this going on."
The 23-year-old Tavalin is charged with manufacturing marijuana with the intent to distribute after police discovered nearly 25 plants growing in his basement on Cliftview Drive.
Red Bank police officers are accustomed to marijuana busts, but this one is like something they have never seen before. The technology is highly advanced.
"A lot of digital readings, air conditioning units, Hepa filters, moving lights that we've never seen before," said Shane Dockery, Red Bank police.
Dockery says this is the most elaborate drug manufacturing operation law enforcement has seen in the Tennessee Valley. This bust was the result of a tip.
"Carbon dioxide tanks, various things like that," said Dockery. "We've never seen anything like this. Its amazing."
Each humidor is equipped with a computer system that takes digital readings to help control humidity. Everything from the heat lamps to the fertilizer is administered by a timer.
"On the back side of these containers that you can't see, there are actually air conditioners, so that when all these things get to certain readings all this stuff will kick on," said Dockery.
It's a system that cost thousands of dollars to build. It could be the beginning of a new wave of manufacturing in the Tennessee Valley. Red Bank police are picking apart this system to better understand, because as Avery says, "You never know where these plants might be growing."
