POLICE DIG UP $2.8M AT TENN. HOME

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Police used a ``treasure map'' to find $2.8
million buried in plastic containers in the yard of a couple suspected of
being major marijuana dealers.

Charles Hicks, 46, and his wife, Donna, 44, were arrested on drug charges
and jailed on $500,000 bail each.

On Friday, after seeing people leave the Hickses' Nashville home with boxes
of marijuana, officers searched the place and found 120 pounds of the drug,
$100,000 in the attic, and, in a dresser, a piece of paper indicating where
money was buried at another Hicks home, in Lebanon.

``We came across a treasure map,'' police spokesman Don Aaron said. ``It
told us where to dig.''

Police used a backhoe to dig up the money over the weekend.

Investigators said they also found $1 million in a commercial storage center.

Police said Hicks and his wife were responsible for the delivery of
thousands of pounds of marijuana into the Nashville area.
