Seven people were charged with crimes after a Greenwood man’s social media post showing a package of medical marijuana for sale led police to search his home.
This week, police searched a home in the 600 block of Park Drive in Greenwood after they found a social media post by one of the residents, Andrew Konchinsky, 26, showing a bag of medical marijuana with the caption, “Come get it,” according to charging documents.
Inside the home, police found marijuana, needles, paraphernalia, multiple cellphones and a gun. Seven people who live at the home were charged with crimes, ranging from misdemeanor possession of marijuana to felony charges of possessing a syringe and maintaining a common nuisance, according to charging documents.

Residents told police that multiple types of drugs were sold out of the home, and investigators had been told on multiple occasions as early as 2015 that Konchinsky was known to sell drugs, according to paperwork filed in the court to obtain a search warrant for the home.
At 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, police searched the home and spoke with seven residents, including Konchinsky, according to court records.
Inside Konchinsky’s room, police found syringes and more than an ounce of marijuana. He was charged with possession of a syringe, a felony, and possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor.
Konchinsky is the son of Steve and Julie Konchinsky, who were murdered in their Greenwood home in 2011 by a man who said he had come there to steal money and drugs.
Andrew Konchinsky has prior convictions for charges including possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance and possession of a synthetic drug, and served nearly a year in prison.
Police also found marijuana, paraphernalia, syringes and items used to package marijuana in other rooms of the house, according to charging documents.
Residents Heather Matthews, 35, Dylan Gunning, 26, Brandon Mink, 23, and Chris Williams, 31, were all charged with possession of marijuana after officers found marijuana in the home that the residents said was theirs. Williams told police that marijuana, meth, cocaine and heroin were all being used and sold from the home, according to charging documents.
All four residents and Konchinsky were all arrested and taken to the Johnson County.
Paula Gunning, 61, who is listed in county records as the homeowner, and David Gunning, 64, told police they knew drugs were used in the house, and Paula Gunning suspected they also were being sold from the home, according to the documents.
They were charged with maintaining a common nuisance, but were not arrested on the day of the search, the report said.
