On Wednesday, April 16, officers located and arrested the suspect in the 9200 block of Tecumseh Road East. Following the arrest, officers seized over $4,000 in cash, and nearly 24 grams of crystal meth. A female suspect was also arrested.
Officers then executed a search warrant at a residence in the 2300 block of Norman Road where 521 grams of crystal meth, 374 grams of cocaine, and 110 grams of an unknown powder was seized. The total value of drugs seized was $65,000.
Officers also seized $18,470 in cash, a handgun, an extended magazine, numerous shotgun shells, four digital scales, a money counter, two cell phones, a debt list and packaging materials.
