The shady sale led to a car chase during which three shots were fired, but no one was injured.
Afterwards, Buchanan called police and said that Bass had robbed him of $596 after threatening him with a shotgun.
Hendersonville Police Capt. Bruce Simonds told the Times-News that police recognized Bass as an individual who had recently been arrested for drugs, so they obtained search warrants for his home and vehicle.
All three men involved in the incident were eventually arrested and brought to the station for questioning. They now face a variety of charges including armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and felony conspiracy.
"They said this was a 'drug deal gone bad,'" Simonds said. "This came together rather fluid-like."
