Spokane man, son face drug charges

Police arrested a 20-year-old Spokane man and his father Thursday on suspicion of selling marijuana to high school students in northwest Spokane.

Detectives also searched a home at 2307 W. Crown Ave., where Hawkins lives with his father, Ricky Hawkins, 43. Police found a small marijuana growing operation.

The elder Hawkins was arrested for unlawful use of building – knowingly allowing drug sales to occur. Kruz Hawkins faces one count of delivery of a controlled substance.
