Upon search of the vehicle, Fentanyl, THC wax, and Marijuana packaged for sale were located. Bennett was also found to have Heroin in his wallet.

A search warrant was obtained for Bennett’s residence. When the search of the home was complete, 80+ grams of Meth, THC wax, Marijuana, a 9mm handgun, and other drug-related objects had been located.
