A Lexington bridal consultant has been charged with endangering the welfare of minors because, police said, she allowed her teenage son and daughter to grow marijuana at their home, according to court records.
Michele Hall Landers has pleaded not guilty to possession of marijuana and three counts of endangering the welfare of a minor.
Michele Hall Landers, an accredited bridal consultant who runs Bridal Potpourri on Clays Mill Road, has pleaded not guilty to possession of marijuana and three counts of endangering the welfare of a minor. She was arrested last Thursday at her home on Ashebrooke Drive.
Landers’ teenage son and daughter have been charged with cultivation and possession of marijuana and trafficking marijuana, court records say. Police also say Landers knew about what was going on and did not intervene. According to court documents, one of the daughter’s friends, a 15-year-old, was also involved.
Landers, 49, was also charged with possession after police found her with 5 grams of marijuana cigarettes.
Landers did not return calls seeking comment.
Bridal Potpourri, 3306 Clays Mill Road, offers brides help in designing wedding invitations, programs, map cards and event itineraries, according to the business Web site.
Her business has been featured in the Herald-Leader, Bluegrass Style and other publications. According to the Web site, Landers’ staff hosts two bridal shows each year and sometimes teaches a wedding planning class at Bluegrass Community and Technical College.
Landers is expected to appear in court for a pretrial conference at 10 a.m. Oct. 15.
