Detectives say they also recovered a safe that contained some additional stolen items that had been taken from Old Rosebower Church Road in the ceiling tiles along with marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Later Dunivin admitted that he agreed to hide the gun for Brown inside the apartment while knowing it was stolen. Greenup was also charged for wanton endangerment due to a small child being present in the home while marijuana was within easy reach of the child.
