Nashville Antifa militant charged with 8 felony counts after allegedly selling drugs to undercover agent

A Tennessee-based Antifa militant has been arrested on eight felony drug and firearm charges following a sting operation that resulted in his bail being set at more than $230,000.

Corey Lee Lemley, 33, of Nashville, was arrested on Nov. 6, following an extensive investigation that began in October, when he attempted to sell drugs to an undercover detective, police allege.

On Monday, authorities executed a search warrant at his home on Barclay Drive and discovered 1 gram of white powder concealed in a dollar bill and 4 grams of a white powder substance concealed in a hallway closet adjacent to his bedroom. Authorities also found a loaded Sig Saur P365 9 mm handgun and 72 grams of marijuana stored in his closet, according to Scoop Nashville. The white power tested positive for cocaine and fentanyl.

Lemley’s family reportedly directed officers to his room, which led to the discovery, the outlet reports.
