PUTNAM COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) -- While responding to a call about a domestic situation in Putnam County Sunday, officers ended up discovering a significant amount of cash and drugs.

The Monterey Police Department said two officers arrived at the scene of the domestic call on Sunday, May 11 and spoke with the individuals involved. However, during the investigation, one of the officers reportedly noticed a male get out of a vehicle and toss a bag of narcotics in an attempt to hide it.
