A husband and wife who were the alleged victims of a home invasion robbery in August have been indicted on charges that they allowed their residence to be a place where people gathered to possess marijuana.

Glenn M. Gallo and Sabrina L. Gallo, both 23, face counts of second-degree criminal possession of marijuana, fourth-degree conspiracy, fourth-degree criminal facilitation, second-degree criminal nuisance, seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and second-degree criminally using drug paraphernalia.

The charges were contained in a grand jury indictment handed up Thursday in Jefferson County Court. It is alleged that on Sept. 15, they possessed more than 16 ounces of marijuana and scales used to weigh the drug at their residence at 329 McClelland St. It further is alleged that they allowed their residence to be a place where people gathered to possess marijuana.

The charges stem from a raid on their residence by the Metro-Jeff Drug Task Force. The raid occurred about five weeks after four men allegedly entered the residence armed with a large piece of wood and a knife, and some cash and a television set were stolen, according to police. Two men have been indicted on robbery charges in that incident.
