On July 12, 2025, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a residence regarding a missing person call. During their encounter with the residents, deputies were able to enter the home and observe their surroundings. While in the interview phase with a resident, drug paraphernalia with residue could be seen in plain view. Subsequently, the deputies began a pat-down of the individual they encountered, discovering multiple individually packaged bags of what appeared to be methamphetamine, leading patrol units to contact the drug unit for a search warrant.
The search of the residence was fruitful, producing a large amount of suspected methamphetamine packaged for resale along with paraphernalia commonly used by dealers for distribution. Several other bags containing suspected heroin/fentanyl, along with other Schedule III and Schedule IV drugs, were found. Also located during the search were seven (7) firearms, with one showing as stolen from another jurisdiction.
Due to the patrol division’s persistence in going beyond the original call for service and its willingness to work alongside other units within and outside the department, the search warrant was successfully completed. This call for service turned into an ample search warrant resulting in multiple arrests (with more pending), recovering a stolen firearm, and seizing harmful illegal drugs set for resale within Montgomery County.
