Four Galesburg residents face criminal charges after a search of a home they all lived in allegedly turned up a lot of drugs and a lot of cash.

Police say the home allegedly turned up about 50-pounds of cannabis and nearly $2,500 in cash.

Two others in the home -- 26-year old Emily Philbee and 42-year old Adam Faull were both arrested and charged with Possession of Methamphetamine.

All four are in the Knox County Jail pending court appearances.
