LINCOLNTON, N.C. -- A Lincolnton woman is facing several charges after deputies raided her home and found drugs and a hidden marijuana growing operation.

Pamela Jean Lingerfelt, 48, was arrested Friday. She is being held in jail under $100,000 bond.

Deputies say they searched Lingerfelt's home on Lenora Circle after receiving complaints and tips from several different sources.

At the home, investigators found 30 grams of crystal meth, $1,900 in cash and drug paraphernalia.

Investigators say they searched a building on Lingerfelt's property and found a false wall that led to a marijuana growing operation. Inside, deputies found 22 grams of marijuana.

Investigators say it appears that Lingerfelt accessed the area through a trap door.

Lingerfelt is facing dozens of charges, including drug trafficking, possession and manufacturing.
