Two Tewksbury residents allegedly advertised medical marijuana on Facebook and then sold it from their home.
Mark Harrington and Holly Harrington, both 28, were arrested Tuesday. They claimed on a Facebook page to operate HTM Gardening LLC out of a Patten Road home, Tewksbury police said in a statement. Mark Harrington is listed as the president and cofounder of the company on Facebook.

On the page were photos of plants they purported to be growing and cash, police said. The Facebook page said that people simply had to 'fill out the new patient application below and e-mail a copy of your certification, a photo ID, and a signed health care release form so we can call to verify your certificate is valid.'
An undercover detective requested marijuana from the number listed on the page, and the Harringtons allegedly met with him and sold it to him.
During a search of their home, marijuana and prescription pills were recovered, along with several edible marijuana products, police said.
Both were arraigned Wednesday in Lowell District Court. They had not-guilty pleas entered for them to charges of conspiracy to violate drug laws; unlawful manufacture, cultivation, distribution of marijuana; and possession with intent to distribute marijuana. Mark Harrington faces an additional nine possession charges, while Holly faces six.
The pair have additional warrants for drug distribution and conspiracy.
They are being held on $3,000 bail and are due to return to court on Oct. 22.
