When that attempt failed, the Defendant surrendered without any further issues and was taken into custody.

The task force estimates that drugs seized had a street value of more than $30,000. As a result of their findings and their investigation, the Defendant was charged with various\u00a0drug possession\u00a0and\u00a0drug distribution\u00a0offenses as well as\u00a0unlawful possession possession of a weapon\u00a0and\u00a0aggravated assault on a police officer charges.
