A wooden box containing a glass pipe and a cloth were found about a foot from the bed of Noel and his girlfriend. The pipe field tested positive for methamphetamine, according to the documents.

Noel also had an alleged  marijuana grow operation in the garage of the home. Wells found twenty three flowerpots that allegedly contained one marijuana plant in each the containers in the search, according to the probable cause statement. "The plants ranged in height from approximately three inches to twelve inches. There was a panel of lights operating above the plants. The room was temperature controlled, and had numerous plant-growing additives lying about."

He has also been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after authorities found children living in the house where the drugs were being grown, according to Stone County Prosecutor Matt Selby.
