For several weeks, deputies were investigating, with the help of an informant, to make several controlled buys from the Frontz home along Carnian Road.

Investigators say the couple was dealing prescription medication, marijuana and alcohol shots without a liquor license.

The couple turned their garage into a bar, calling it "Groovin' Gary's Garage," where Gary Frontz worked as the bartender and served alcohol and dealt drugs, according to investigators.

Deputies executed a search warrant on September 2, and seized 13 bags of marijuana, 98 bottles of liquor, $2,000 in cash and numerous liquor receipts.

Also seized were several items investigators say were purchased using the profits from the marijuana deals.

The couple remains in jail.

Love those multi-year multimillion-dollar investigations. Love the pic - looks like they seized a tenth of my home bar!
