Deputies investigated tips of drugs being stored in an apartment on Oct. 21 before obtaining a search warrant by the A.C.E Task Force, investigators said.
“A.C.E. detectives proceeded to search the apartment and found over 90 packages wrapped in duct tape. The three-bedroom apartment had very few personal items in it and appeared to have been used as a ‘stash house,’” investigators said.
The packages tested positive for meth after an analysis at a crime lab, according to deputies.
Michael Bailey, 30, was arrested in connection to the seizure on charges of aggravated trafficking in drugs, aggravated possession of drugs and, possession of criminal tools, jail records show.
