In December, authorities seized approximately 4.8 kilograms of methamphetamine and drug proceeds from his home and car. They also found fraudulent identification cards, packaging materials, and other items indicating a distribution operation.

The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Agency and U.S. Postal Inspection Service as part of the multi-agency effort of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces. The program gives extra federal funding to federal and state agencies that identify, investigate and prosecute major drug trafficking organizations.
