Court documents state they saw a meth tube in a drawer, prompting law enforcement to obtain a search warrant. The garage was set-up as a make shift apartment and law enforcement found three bags containing a substance that tested positive as methamphetamine in a drawer under a coffee table in the middle of the room. The meth weighed a total of 41.74 grams.

A bag including two scales, smaller bags for packaging, a meth pipe and a tube with meth residue were also found, according to court documents.
